China’s President Hu Jintao is a “monster,” for carrying out a new propaganda against Tibet’s spiritual leader the Dalai Lama by calling him names.
Tibet’s exiled Home Minster, Gyari Dolma today demanded that the Chinese authorities must refrain from mudsling and name-calling the Dalai Lama.
“The Chinese Premier Hu Jintao himself is a monster,” she hit back at the Chinese authorities who said that the Dalai Lama was propagating a “Nazi” policy based on race and inciting people for self-immolation.
“Stop calling the Dalai Lama names,” she demanded.
The Tibetan Home Minister said, young Tibetans are “frustrated” at China’s aggressive polices towards Tibet, adding, this is fuelling the increased cases of self-immolation amongst Tibetans.
On Monday, a Tibetan youth set himself on fire at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi in protest against the Chinese President’s scheduled visit to India. Jintao would be in India on Wednesday for the BRICS summit. This is one of the several cases of self immolation of Tibetans in the recent past.
Immediately after the New Delhi incident, Chinese state-run news agencies accused the Dalai Lama for inciting the spate of self-immolation of Tibetans. In one such commentary the Dalai Lama was also accused by the Chinese authorities of adopting a Nazi policy based on race.
Dolma while urging the youth not to be emotional, however said, that their acts cannot be outrightly condemned. She said, China by trampling all rights of Tibetans have left them desperate. “The world needs to understand compassionately why they (Tibetans) are doing this (self-immolation),” Dolma said.
Appealing to the global community to help the Tibetans in its fight for freedom against Chinese atrocities, Dolma said the Chinese authorities must speak to the Dalai Lama. “Please listen to the Tibetans,” she appealed.
Meanwhile, Dolma, who was here to meet a small community of Tibetan refugees, also called upon Meghalaya Speaker Charles Pyngrope and thanked the State Government for extending support to the Tibetan community.
