Guwahati, June 17:
Patriotic People’s Front Assam (PPFA) today expresses serious concern over the standoff with Chinese forces at Galwan valley of eastern Ladakh in the northern part of India causing martyrdom to many brave soldiers and injuring few others and urges every Indian citizen to support the nation according to their capacities.
The forum of nationalists in northeast India, while terming Beijing administration as an imperialist force to illegally occupy Tibet in Fifties and trying its best to destroy the Tibetan culture, also urges New Delhi to support the cause of an independent Tibet so that His Holiness 14th Dalai Lama can go back to the Potala palace in Lhasa within his lifetime.
“China does not share border with India. They are away from us. Since time immemorial we had Tibet as our friendly neighbor. It was only after the Communist regime captured the Buddhist land and came closer to us. Since then clashes between Indian soldiers and Chinese forces continued to erupt time to time,” said a PPFA statement issued to the media.
Ongoing violent clashes with the foreign forces remind patriots of northeast India to the bloody war of 1962 that snatched away thousand lives of soldiers and civilians in Arunachal Pradesh frontier.
Legendary Assamese cultural personality Dr Bhupen Hazarika created the fabulous song ‘Kata Jowanar Mritya Hal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kt8Icxq2JOA)’ terming the Chinese aggressors as cruel enemies.
PPFA reiterates the recent appeal by innovator and social engineer Sonam Wangchuk to boycott all kinds of Chinese products including their software produces like Tiktok, Pubg, BeautyPlus, etc by every Indian national. It supports his appeal to refuse everything made by China as supports to the country as a whole and the soldiers on the border fighting the foreign elements commenting ‘citizens should react to the situation with wallets’.
