Press Release:
We are pleased to inform you that the Core Group for Tibetan Cause, an apex coordinating body of Tibet Support Groups all over India is convening a 5th All India Tibet Support Groups conference at Guwahati, Assam from 2nd to 3rd November 2015 in celebrating the 80th birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and in view of present critical situation inside Tibet.
More than 180 representatives from across India of various Tibet Support Groups organizations will take part in the event to deliberate, discuss and strategize on strengthening the Tibetan movement and Tibet Support Groups in India for the peaceful solution of the issue of Tibet.
The purpose of this conference is to highlight the dim, ever growing repressive implementation of Chinese policies and the worsening situation of human rights situation inside Tibet.
Not only this, Chinese excessive exploitation of Tibetan natural resources and environmental destruction has caused a serious threat to the ecology of world and particularly of Asia. To approve this, in 1960s there were only dozen of dam but now more than 22,000 hydro projects and dams have been constructed. Being Tibet as third pole of world, it provides water to 3.1 billion population of India, China, Bangladesh and others. This means, around 46,000 glaciers which is extended over 1.5 lakh sq.meter and because of Chinese policy of destruction has now resulted in melting of more than 8740 glaciers and formed in lakes. Out of this, 204 lakes are in great danger of getting burst in any coming circumstances which may prove fatal to India more than any other countries. Every year, the issue of flooding arising from Brahmaputra, here in Assam is nothing but the result of China’s individualistic approach of gaining profit by harming other’s benefits and resources.
Also, the conference will focus upon the intense security between India and China in keeping view of Tibet’s vital existence. Despite India’s regard to bilateral relationship with China the latter has tried every effort to derail the virtues of this relationship with countless incursions in recent times.
Along with this, our effort would also to highlight the significance of Tibet’s History and Culture with India while expressing gratitude towards His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama for his vision, leadership and achievements in the field of Secular Ethics and Human Values, Inter-faith Dialogue and Harmony, Universal Responsibility, Peace of Mind and Happiness.
