A group of protesters, including Tibetans in exile, demonstrated against the Chinese premier, Li Keqiang's visit to india amid border tensions between both the countries.
"India needs to toughen its stand on intrusion by China. They should demand China to demarcate the international boundary first and only then proceed with further dialogue and let their leaders visit India," said Kansal, a protester.
Premier Li will arrived in New Delhi on Sunday on his first foreign trip since assuming office.
Carrying banners, protesters shouted slogans against the premier's visit and urged New Delhi to talk tough with the neighbouring country.
Recently both the nations were at loggerheads as Indian and Chinese soldiers faced off 100 metres (330 feet) apart on a plateau near the Karakoram mountain range, where they fought a war 50 years ago, for three weeks until they reached a deal and both sides decided to withdraw.
The two countries packed up tents and left the disputed patch on the 5,000-metre-high (16,000-foot) Depsang Plain.
Member of the Tibetan parliament-in-exile, Yeshi Phuntsok said that China needs to solve its ongoing boundary row with India in addition to reaching a conclusion to the Tibet issue.
"Protesters have gathered here, including some Tibetans-in-exile and are protesting the visit of Chinese premier, Li Keqiang. Tibetans demand a conclusive resolution to the issue of Tibet. Protesters are also condemning China's intrusion into India that violated boundary norms between both countries," said Phuntsok.
India has been beefing up its military presence for several years on the remote Ladakh plateau, building roads and runways to catch up with Chinese development across the border in a disputed area known as Aksai Chin.
Protesters added that India needs to adopt a strong policy towards China to avert incidents of incursions in future.
China has defended its iron-fisted rule in Tibet, saying the remote region suffered from dire poverty, brutal exploitation and economic stagnation until 1950, when Communist troops 'peacefully liberated' it.
Beijing considers Nobel peace laureate the Dalai Lama, who fled from China in 1959 after an abortive uprising against Chinese rule, a violent separatist. The Dalai Lama says he is merely seeking greater autonomy for his Himalayan homeland.
