India-China standoff: Indian-Americans stage protest against China in Washington
Washington, July 20: A group of Indian-Americans from in and around the national capital held a peaceful demonstration in front of the Chinese embassy, protesting against China's aggression along the Line of Actual Control.
Displaying anti-China banners and shouting slogans like "China Communist: Down Down", the protesters said that "the Chinese virus has killed lakhs of people across the world and has brought the global economy to a standstill".
Community activist Manoj Sreenilayam said, "We condemn the unprovoked Chinese aggression, landgrab and killing of Indians on Indian territory in Ladakh, while the world is distracted with the COVID-19 pandemic."
