Kalimpong, Nov. 20: The Regional Tibetan Youth Congress, Kalimpong, has condemned the Chinese President Hu Jintao’s visit to India. Yesterday, the members of the organisation had taken out a rally through the town in protest. They have also accused Jintao of killing thousands of Tibetans when he was the head of the Tibetan Autonomous Region in 1989. “We firmly believe that the Government of India will not take any measure that may go against the historical truth and aspirations of six million Tibetans living in and out of Tibet,” said Chungdak, the president of the organisation. He added that around 3,000 Tibetans are forced to flee their homeland every year to escape Chinese repression. Cautioning New Delhi against arriving at any agreement with China at the cost of the Tibetans, Chungdak said: “We certainly do not propose a confrontational approach towards China, but a bold policy that will recognise an independent Tibet.” |
