CTA marks 60th anniversary of Tibetans in exile

The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) on Wednesday marked the 60th anniversary of Tibetans in exile through a "Thank You India" campaign.

As a part of the campaign, a five-member delegation, led by Tibetan Parliament member Youdon Aukatsang, met senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Murli Manohar Joshi at his residence to express the gratitude of the Tibetan people to the successive governments and people of India for their generous support and sympathy to the cause of Tibet for more than five decades.

The Tibetan delegation was on a twenty-day visit to the states of Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Delhi. They met various Indian leaders and lawmakers including Governors, Chief Ministers, Speaker of the Assembly and Party Spokespersons, MPs and MLAs and briefed them about the critical situation in Tibet and current status of the Tibetan freedom movement.
