Press Release
Today
is the 60th Anniversary of the establishment of the so-called People’s
Republic of China. For nearly 60 years of that duration, Tibet – a
freedom and a peace-loving nation that has been under the brutal
totalitarian occupation of Communist China has faced an overall
destruction to its land and people; its religion and culture; its
language and script to such a massive extent that it has now reached a
critical point of total annihilation. Inspite of that, the Government
of China, taking advantage of this occasion, has not only set up an
exhibition show-casing the ‘great progress’ that it has brought in
Tibet but it is also in the process of organizing the commemoration of
this event in the whole of the three provinces of Tibet in order to
misuse it for political propagandas. In reality, the Tibetan people and
peoples of the other national minorities have been put under stricter
control of their movements and activities in order to hide all the
destructions caused by the deceptive policies so far. Such actions that
contradict the facts can never satisfy the Tibetan people both in and
outside Tibet and bring about a solution to the vexed Tibetan issue.
Ever since the forcible occupation of Tibet, China has perpetrated a
series of wrongful and ultra-leftist policies, which have resulted in a
colossal loss, that has never happened in the whole history of Tibet.
Even now, under the guise of economic development and progress, the
Government of China is seeking to fully sinicize the Tibetan population.To
sum up, under the pretext of observing the 60th Anniversary of PRC, the
Government of China is taking up a number of policies and programmes
that contradict with reality. Such deceptive actions cannot be
recognized as fulfilling the real aspirations of the minority
nationalities in China. Therefore, the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile
strongly opposes these actions.Tibetan Parliament-in-ExileGangchen KyishongDharamsala(H.P.) India
