The Tibetan Parliamentarians in-exile have expressed concern over the recent spate violence in Nepal amid the anti-corruption gen-z protests, urging political leaders to ‘come forward’ and address demands of the people. 

Dolma Tsering, deputy speaker of Tibetan parliament in-exile also expressed concern over the Tibetan settlements. 

“It’s a great concern because not only there are Tibetan settlements in Nepal but overall the situation inside Nepal is a great concern because people are really disappointed and stressed due to the things that are happening there,” Mr. Tsering told ANI.

Condemning the violence which took place, in which multiple Nepalese ministers were beaten up and government buildings burned, the deputy speaker added, “but the violence is not an answer to anything because when you destroy the physical structures of your own democracy, that’s a big thing. Ultimately it will fall on you, the people who pay tax. So I would really urge the people concerned, the youth who are really disappointed and desperate, they should stop violence.”

Thubten Gyatso, a Tibetan MP in-exile, expressed solidarity with the protesters, and called for dialogue to restore peace and harmony in the country. 

“I would like to express my concern and sense of solidarity, what happened inside Nepal and I think the leaders should come forward, the representatives of different movements and to find some measures instead of violence. because the country needs peace and harmony,” he told ANI.
