Emphasising that Tibet was never a part of China, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Indresh Kumar has said the Indian government should review its position with Beijing over Tibet.
Addressing a seminar here on Thursday, Kumar said: "I would like to request the Indian government to review its decision of accepting Tibet to be a part of China in 1954; that policy should be reviewed as Tibet was never a part and parcel of China."
Kumar also stressed on the importance of peaceful relations between local Tibetans and Indians.
Meanwhile, representatives of the Tibetan exiles said that people of Tibet are seeking political support from India and the international community.
