The Tibetan community on Friday held a demonstration near Majnu Ka Tilla in north Delhi against the Chinese government over their ‘illegal occupation of Tibet’ ahead of G20 New Delhi Leaders’ summit amidst the deployment of heavy security near Majnu Ka Tila in the national capital
The protest was led by the members of the Tibetan Youth Congress. Armed with banners and placards, the protesters raised slogans against the Chinese government.
Some of the slogans on their banners read– ‘G20 Talk Tibet’, ‘Tibet Matters’, and ‘China’s diplomatic assurances not to be trusted’. Protesters had “Free Tibet” slogans painted on their face and body.
Heavy security forces have been deployed near Majnu ka Tilla area after Tibetan Youth Congress President Gonpo Dhundup on Thursday said that a protest will take place in Delhi on Friday against China over the illegal occupation of Tibet.
Dhundup said, “This protest is not against India or India hosting the G20 Summit. We are raising these slogans against the Chinese participation in the G20 Summit.”
Asserting that the Tibetan community felt honoured that India is hosting the G20 Summit, Dhundup said the demonstration was aimed at raising their voice against the alleged illegal occupation of Tibet by the Chinese government. “The current situation in Tibet is very critical. We have asked protesters to keep the protest peaceful.
