TPIE demands autonomy for Tibetans
New Delhi, PTI :
The Tibetan Parliament-In-Exile (TPIE) today held a hunger strike here demanding autonomy for Tibetans while expressing solidarity with their spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.



"We seek autonomy to the people of Tibet by China. We pledge to follow the Dalai Lama and support his peaceful ways to attain justice for Tibetans," its Speaker Karma Choephel said here.

The exiled government said it is "grateful" to India for allowing peaceful protests against the Chinese "attack".
"We are grateful to India for their support to our struggle. While people in Lhasa have been arrested and prosecuted, we have been given freedom to protest here," Deputy Speaker Dolma Gyari said.

The All Party Indian Parliamentary forum has joined the protest to extend support for the cause.
Meanwhile, former Defence Minister George Fernandes asked the Centre to "boycott" Chinese goods and support the Tibetan people's struggle.

Fernandes, who led a Samata Party delegation during a demonstration here, said: "not only India, but everyone should unite and boycott Chinese goods in support of the Tibetan struggle."

"While all countries were making efforts, in the last few days, to put some sense into the minds of the Chinese, the Indian government has quietly surrendered," he alleged.

"It is a shame that so far the parliament has not even attempted to pass a resolution to condemn the war that has been waged against the Tibetans. The Marxists and the Congress have surrendered to the Chinese without even making an effort," he stated.
