I will quit
if violence continues: Dalai Lama
WSN Bureau
NEW DELHI:
Upset
over the continuing violent protests by the Tibetans, their
spiritual leaders Dalai Lama said he would step down if it
continued. “I have always made it clear that the expression of deep
emotion should be in control.
If it is out of
control, we have no option. If the violent demonstrations continue,
I would resign,” said Dalai Lama. Disturbed by violent protests by
Tibetans in various places, he has asked the demonstrators to
refrain from doing any harm to the Chinese people. “I have always
respected the Chinese people... Chinese Communism. Even most of the
Tibetan protesters are ideologically Communists. I think inside or
outside
China, if
the demonstrators utilise violent methods, I am totally against it,”
the Dalai Lama further said. The Dalai Lama is in the city for a
week-long meditation workshop.
