Dharamsala, February 2, 2013: National President Bhartiya Janata Yuva Morcha Anurag Singh Thakur, MP, has showed his solidarity with the Tibetan people by attending the “Solidarity with Tibet” Campaign held on Saturday at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi.
Thakur expressed his unrelenting support to the Tibetan cause and people. He said that they would always be welcome in Himachal Pradesh and were free to reside anywhere in India.
He added ,”I like my father(P K Dhumal) been a strong advocate of the Tibetan peoples’ movement.”
Thakur said that India had welcomed His Holiness the Dalai Lama who resides in Dharamsala alongwith thousands of his followers. This was a stamp on India’s inclusive credentials and tolerance for other faiths.
He added that Indians and foreigners alike had learnt immensely from His Holiness and that he was greatly loved the world over.
Thakur said it was an honour that His Holiness had graced the first Indian Premier League Cricket Match held in Dharamsala as the Chief Guest.
He commended the work the Tibetan Parliament in Exile under the leadership of Prime Minister Dr. Lobsang Sangay was doing and urged other leaders, scholars and activists to support the movement.
Thakur said that China’s advances and threats both towards India and Tibetans would be firmly dealt with. He ended by saying that Indians would stand shoulder to shoulder with their Tibetan friends in the wake of aggression by China.
