Tibetans protest China’s Tibet policy

The Tibetan parliament-in-exile and various non-governmental organisations of the exiled Tibetans living in McLeodganj have disapproved China’s Tibet policy. Hundreds of Tibetans, including monks and nuns, held a silent protest march on Thursday and also organised a rally on the premises of the Buddhist temple, calling for democracy in China.

The protesting Tibetans sported black badges.

The Chinese Communist Party completed 60 years of its rule on October 1.

“On the pretext of observing the 60th anniversary of PRC (People’s Republic of China) the Government of China is taking up a number of policies and programmes that contradict with reality. Such deceptive actions cannot be recognised as fulfilling the real aspirations of the minority nationalities in China. Therefore, the Tibetan parliament-in-exile strongly opposes these actions,” reads the statement issued by the Tibetan government-in-exile.

The statement said the Chinese Government wanted to show that huge progress had been made in Tibet but the reality was otherwise. “Not only the land of Tibet has been damaged, but its religion, culture, language and script have also taken a hit,” the statement said.
