New Delhi, July 25: India has denied a visa to Rebiya Kadeer, the
Uighur matriarch exiled by China, on the advice of Beijing which
accuses the 62-year-old of inciting the recent violence in Xinjiang.
A former business tycoon whom China once toasted as a symbol of the
success of its multi-ethnic culture, Kadeer is now trying to mobilise
world opinion against Chinese oppression of Uighurs.
The mother of 11, who is backed by the US, had applied to the Indian
mission in Germany for a visa sometime early this year, before the
July riots. She apparently wanted to meet Indians sympathetic to her
movement.
Government sources said Beijing was worried that she might meet the
Dalai Lama in India. "We have an understanding with the Chinese
government that we will not allow Indian soil to be used for political
activities against China," a senior official said.
The Uighur diaspora call Kadeer their "mother". The tiny and fiery
matriarch, two of whose sons are in prison in China, recently told a
Washington rally: "I consider myself the voice of millions of Uighur
people. I consider myself as their tears."
