In the backdrop of Mr. Xi's visit dozens of Tibetan students and activists in exile today staged a protest demonstration in New Delhi against Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to India.
The protest was held near Hyderabad House where Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Chinese President were holding delegation level talks. The protesters scuffled with the Police, which stopped them from marching towards the venue. Some of the protesters have been detained. They demanded independence for Tibet and raised slogans against China for alleged human rights violations there.
