By AT News |

5th All India Tibet Support Groups conference  will be held  on the occasion of the 80th birthday of Tibeti leader Dalai Lama and and to discuss present critical situation inside Tibet at Guwahati on November 2-3.

Representatives from across India of various Tibet Support Groups organizations will take part in the event to deliberate, discuss and strategize on strengthening the Tibetan movement and Tibet Support Groups in India for the peaceful solution of the issue of Tibet.

The purpose of this conference is to highlight the dim, ever growing repressive implementation of Chinese policies and the worsening situation of human rights situation inside Tibet.

Not only this, Chinese excessive exploitation of Tibetan natural resources and environmental destruction has caused a serious threat to the ecology of world and particularly of Asia. To approve this, in 1960s there were only dozen of dam but now more than 22,000 hydro projects and dams have been constructed. Being Tibet as third pole of world, it provides water to 3.1 billion population of India, China, Bangladesh and others. This means, around 46,000 glaciers which is extended over 1.5 lakh sq.meter and because of Chinese policy of destruction has now resulted in melting of more than 8740 glaciers and formed in lakes. Out of this, 204 lakes are in great danger of getting burst in any coming circumstances which may prove fatal to India more than any other countries. Every year, the issue of flooding arising from Brahmaputra, here in Assam is nothing but the result of China’s individualistic approach of gaining profit by harming other’s benefits and resources.

Also, the conference will focus upon the intense security between India and China in keeping view of Tibet’s vital existence.

But perhaps no recent phenomenon captures the frustration of India’s younger generation as sharply as the sudden rise of the “Cockroach Janta Party” (CJP). What started as an internet joke has rapidly evolved into a national political conversation. The movement emerged after controversial remarks attributed to Supreme Court judge Surya Kant during a hearing, where unemployed youth and activists were allegedly compared to “cockroaches” and “parasites.” Though later clarifications suggested the remarks were directed at fake-degree holders and not unemployed youth generally, the...

PEC voices concern over press censorship in Myanmar

Press Emblem Campaign (PEC), the Geneva-based global media safety and rights body, has expressed concern over the continued press censorship in Myanmar, as the military junta authorities have recently revoked the licenses of three more independent news outlets. The junta’s information ministry had lately restricted the publication of Myaelatt Athan, Red News Agency, and Asia Citizens News Agency, citing different sections of the law. Mentionable is that the South Asian nation of 55 million people witnessed a coup on 1 February 2021, when a democratically elected government led by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was ousted by the then military chief Min Aung Hlaing. Since then, the junta has revoked...
