DEHRA DUN: Bharatiya Janshakti Party leader Uma Bharti will undertake a march to Tibet to protest the Chinese crackdown in the Himalayan region.

Bharati, who is camping at Kalimath temple in Chamoli district bordering Tibet, will start her march on April 15, a top party leader said.

Chamoli District Magistrate D S Gabriyal said the authorities would not permit the former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister to cross the border.

Bharti will be accompanied by her party supporters, the leader said.

"There is going to be a big rally in Joshimath town in Chamoli on April 15 from where Bharti will start her march," said Nagesh Dutt Mishra, the party's coordinator in Uttarakhand.

Bharti, who is presently in meditation at Kalimath, could not be reached for comments.
