New Delhi, March 27: Jamphel Yeshi continues to be in a critical condition, almost 24 hours after he set himself on fire in New Delhi at a massive gathering of Tibetans demanding international intervention in the crisis inside Tibet.

In a late night development, doctors at the Ram Manohar Lohia hospital in the Indian capital suggested an immediate operation on Jamphel Yeshi to ease his breathing.

"The doctors suggested an immediate operation to clear his trachea as it had swollen badly from infection," Tenzin Choekyi, general secretary of the Tibetan Youth Congress, said in a release from inside the hospital.

After a brief surgery that lasted about 45 minutes, Jamphel Yeshi is now able to breathe 90 per cent on his own.

"This does not have an affect on his general condition which is still very critical, but the fact that he is able to breathe has brought him a certain level of comfort," Choekyi said.

With Chinese President Hu Jintao scheduled to arrive late tonight in New Delhi to attend the 4th Brics summit, observers believe that doctors and the Indian administration will carry out full measures not to further deteriorate the situation.

The Dharamshala based Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile in a release yesterday said that Jamphel Yeshi's self-immolation is an act of solidarity by the Tibetans in exile with the ongoing wave of self-immolations and protests against the Chinese regime by Tibetans inside Tibet.

"Jamphel Yeshi's self-immolation is in solidarity with the martyrs of Tibet and is an expression of the genuine aspirations of all Tibetans living and dead," the release said. "His self-immolation calls for a change in the repressive policies of the Chinese government and also makes an urgent appeal of support from the United Nations and freedom and democracy loving countries in the world."

30 Tibetans have self-immolated inside Tibet since 2009 demanding the return of the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama and freedom in Tibet.
