CHINA BETRAYED INDIA, SAYS TIBET’S SANGAY

President of Central Administration of Tibet (CTA)-inexile, Dr Lobsang Sangay, on Monday urged India to take a proactive and prominent role in containing ‘expansionist’ China in the region and help in resolving the issue of Tibet. According to him it is due to this ‘expansionist’ policy that China has now started moving towards Ladakh.

Dr Sangay said the military aggression by the PLA is not the first time in the region and will not be the last time, hence, it was time for India to review its ‘One China’ policy. He added that after invading Tibet, China has militarised the entire region and is now also disturbing peace in South China Sea.

In a conversation with journalists of Foreign Correspondents Club of South Asia, Dr Sangay said that after controlling Tibet, China has already started occupying areas of Nepal and is now eyeing Ladakh and Bhutan which is dangerous for the region. He added that occupation of Tibet is the main reason for tension between India and China and New Delhi should help resolve the Tibet issue to solve its own problems with Beijing.

“In this 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between two countries, lot many big events were planned but see what India has got – killing of soldiers of at the borders. Instead of following the principles of Panchsheel, China has always betrayed India. It occupied Tibet, it forced a war with India and today what is happening in an example of the same betrayal,” Dr Sangay said.
