Dharamshala (HP), June 19 (ANI): On US Congressional delegation's visit, Deputy Speaker of Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile, Dolma Tsering Teykhang sends the message that Tibet is not alone and the United States is with Tibet and human rights still matter. Further, she said that this is a message not only for Tibet but anybody who is aspiring for human rights for freedom...all those who are suffering under the intimidation of China and the expansionist mentality of Xi Jinping. She also added that China is annoyed with anything that supports Tibet. While speaking to ANI, Dolma Tsering Teykhang said, "...They are here to experience a different way of culture that Tibetans have...They have an audience with His Holiness (Dalai Lama) and then we are going to have the official get-together in the meeting...It sends (the message) that Tibet is not alone. United States is with Tibet and human rights still matter. This is a message not only for Tibet but anybody who is aspiring for human rights and for freedom...all those who are suffering under the intimidation of China and expansionist mentality of Xi Jinping, I think this is a very big message for them. China is annoyed with anything who supports Tibet. We are here not to annoy or humiliate China, Representatives and Senators are here to support the just cause. So, when there is truth, you have a supporter and if there is any truth or when they rectify the wrong politics they are practising in Tibet, they will also get a lot of support.” Dolma Gyari, Security minister of Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile on China said, "I think the message is loud and clear to China. the message has been clear for a while, I think - that freedom loving nations in the world, people who promote peace and justice, support Tibet. Also, it is a strong message of the support of American. Congress, the American people for justice and for the cause of the Tibetan people and above all, the high regard that His Holiness the Dalai Lama commands all over. I would think, that it can be seen as a support for India also."
