In an interview with ThePrint, Penpa Tsering, new ‘Sikyong’ of Tibetan govt-in-exile, says India’s policy towards Tibet or China has ‘not been adequate’.
India has tried to play the Tibet card, but New Delhi lacks the heft to make effective use of it. The US is a different ball game, and both Chinese and Tibetans know this.
Lobsang Sangay, President of the Tibetan government-in-exile, says China is doing to India and its other neighbours what it did to his country in the 1950s.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
