Speaking at the NPC meetings on March 6, in Beijing, Go Khok, the Mayor and Deputy Party Secretary of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) stated that the TAR government had restricted religious activities in Tibet and that the number of days spent observing religious events, and the number of people attending them, had both been reduced to less than 10 per cent. He told Tibetan Deputies and journalists in the Great Hall of the People that “In 2018, Lhasa … took a clear-cut stand in eliminating the negative influence the Dalai Lama exerted via religion and took great effort in ridding the passive religious influence.”
