Guwahati | March 26: Lok Sabha MP from Arunachal Pradesh Kiren Rijiju has
condemned the UPA governments stand on the Tibet issue and said that he and 48
other MPs of the Lok Sabha sent a memorandum to the international community
like the UN and the EU seeking to exert pressure on the Chinese government to
stop the violence in Tibet.
We have been bullied by the Chinese government since ages and India is
behaving like a small tiny nation, said Rijiju who is currently in Assam while
adding that India should take a strong stand as the crisis in Tibet is not the
internal issue of China or Tibet. I on behalf of the party convinced 48 MPs of
the Lok Sabha and sent an appeal to the UN, the EU and other international
communities seeking that international pressure should be exerted on China so
that the crisis in Tibet could be stopped, said Rijiju who is also heading the
All India Parliamentarian Forum on Tibet.
Our party also believes that the country should have normal relations with
China particularly when our economy is growing. But it is a fact that we are
affected by the crisis. Dalai Lama is in Dharamsala and there are thousands of
Tibetans living in India. We want them to go back to Tibet safely, said Rijiju.
The BJP MP came to Assam as the party has assigned him to strengthen the
partys base in three Lok Sabha seats Guwahati, Karimganj and Silchar ahead of
the next Lok Sabhapolls. The Lok Sabha polls could be any time. The BJP is
ready for the polls. I have visited the places Guwahati, Karimganj and
Silchar and could sense that the people of Assam are now feeling that time have
come to give a chance to the BJP, said the MP while adding that precaution
would be taken to avoid the miscalculations of last Lok Sabha Polls. The
Congress government in Assam has not taken up any effort on the issue of
infiltration.
The state government is responsible for everything and this time they (Congress
government) would not have the opportunity to blame the Centre as the same
party is leading the UPA coalition, he said. The BJP has always done well in
Lok Sabha polls and the party had in the past won 290 seats more than one time.
We are sure to do well in the next Lok Sabha polls as well and we have started
the preparations early, he added.
