Around
30 people were killed in violence on Friday in the capital
of Tibet, Lhasa. However, according to the exiled government
of Tibet in India the toll is around 100 people. Marking the
anniversary of 1959 year's struggle against Chinese government,
the demonstrators had begun their agitation peacefully, but
they became violent on Friday taking up their rights issue.
Chinese suppression is said to be responsible behind this.
Though, the Chinese government said that religious Guru, Dalai
Lama is responsible for this violence. Dalai Lama said the
demonstration is symbol of resentment of Tibetans. The Tibetans
exiled government cleared that Dalai Lama is not responsible
for violence in Lhasa. But he always remains in favour of
peaceful solution to this issue. From the period Tibet went
into Chinese control, the Chinese origin people are gradually
increasing their domination in Tibet. It often comes in the
news that Chinese government is exploiting fundamental rights
of Tibetans. Army and police have carried out oppressive acts
against the people in Tibet. The situation has changed and
questions are being raised on the origin of Tibeta. In such
a condition it is natural to become violent. It has become
essential to give a fair deal to the Tibetans. Silence of
the international community on to the suppression and violation
of human rights of Tibetans is painful. This issue needs to
be raised at international level. Other countries including
America and Europe should come forward to help the suppressed
Tibetans. However, Indian Foreign Affairs Minister said that
Indian government has kept an eye on the violent agitation
of Tibetans. The government is serious about the incidents
taking place in Lhasa. But, this is not enough. Tibet issue
should not be considered an internal matter of China and it
should be raised at international fora. Though, several countries,
including America and even United Nations advocate about giving
freedom of expression there. But it does not make any difference.
International community should take a firm initiative to check
the violation of fundamental rights of Tibetans.
