Indo-Tibetan meet proposes boycott of Chinese goods - The Times of India
DHARAMSHALA: In a meeting held on late Saturday between exiled Tibetan parliament, cabinet and members of National Security Forum (NSF), a call was made for a joint campaign by Indian and Tibetan people to boycott Chinese goods. Speaker of the Tibetan parliament on this occasion stated that this was an effective method of non-violent struggle against China.
Former Union minister Vikram Mahajan while addressing the gathering said, "India is one of the largest consumers of imported Chinese goods and if this move is implemented then it would be a major setback to China." he said. He said Tibetans should follow the path shown by Mahatma Gandhi who boycotted British goods.
Speaker of Tibetan parliament Penpa Tsering said for them the main issue was to save their identity by seeking autonomy and not freedom. "At this point of time when we are on the path of non-violent struggle, boycotting Chinese goods would be really an effective method and we have a standing resolution for this in the parliament," he added.
Tibetan home minister Dolma Gayri, international relation minister Dicki Choyang and other members of Tibetan parliament were present in the meet.
