A group of Indian-Americans
from in and around the national capital held a protest here against China's
aggression towards India and the human right violations of Uyghur minority
groups in the country's restive Muslim-majority Xinjiang region.
Maintaining social
distancing and wearing masks, the peaceful protestors on Sunday gathered at the
historic national mall facing the US Capitol and displayed anti-China posters,
banners and raised slogans against the Communist Party of China and its
leaders.
"This summer
while the world was fighting coronavirus, China was trying to encroach upon
other's land. It's not only in Ladakh in India but also against it's other
neighbours as well. It's time that the world unites against this Chinese
aggression," said Adapa Prasad from Overseas Friends of BJP USA.
Indian and Chinese
troops have been locked in a bitter standoff in several areas along the Line of
Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh since May 5. The situation deteriorated
after the June 15 Galwan
Valley clashes in which 20 Indian Army personnel were killed and an
unconfirmed number of Chinese soldiers died.
"China's
Communist party has infringed on the religious rights of the Uyghur community
and violated human rights of people of Hong Kong, Puneet Ahluwalia, who is an
Indian-American Republican and founder of the Proud American Political Action
Committee, said.
