Governor, Chief Minister and senior Ministers express support for Tibet
The third leg of North-East zone lobby campaign began on January
18 in Chhattisgarh.
The Honorable Chief Minister Shri Dr. Raman Singh received
the delegation at his residence on January 19. The chief minister reiterated
his party ‘Bharatiya Janata Party’s’ (BJP) resolute commitment to backing the
Tibetan cause’ and assured that ‘the State Government will deliver its best to
facilitate the Tibetan hamlets in his State.’ 
The delegation held an hour-long meeting with the Honorable
Governor of the State, Shri Shekhar Dutt and the State’s first lady at Raj
Bhavan on January 20. The Governor stressed on the importance of ‘amassing mass
support from the Indian public for the political movement.’ “Make the benign
Tibet presence: its culture and religion felt in the heartland and hinterland
of India and this could potentially boost interest in Tibet and thereby augment
the general public interest to that of specific public interest,” said the
Governor. The delegates briefed the Governor on the status of the Tibetan call
for a multilateral action from the international community. The Governor
offered rationale
approaches to help expedite the process of bringing about a
resolution to the Tibetan issue. “Involve the stakeholders of Chinese booming
economy, the major western investors to assert moral pressure on China and ensure
that dialogue with China takes place horizontally: from all corners and on all
fronts,” said the highest-ranking civilian of the State.
The State Cabinet Minister for Agriculture - Shri Chandrashekar
Sahoo, Minister for Education and Tourism – Shri Brij Mohan Aggarwal, Minister
for Forest – Shri Vikram Usandi welcomed the delegation at their ministry
offices and pledged the ‘support of State Government for the Tibetan struggle
against oppression.’
Successive meetings were held with senior political leaders of
the State ruling party, BJP: Shri Sohan Potai, Member of Lok Sabha and Shri
Sevak Ram Netan, MLA. They vouched the support of their 12 Members of the
Parliament (10 at Lok Sabha and 2 at Rajya Sabha) for the tabling and passing
of an ‘All-India Parliamentary resolution on the Tibet crisis.’
The other MLAs of Chhattisgarh with whom the delegation
couldn’t engage in a direct face-to-face meeting were apprised of the campaign
and its goals through a memorandum sent via priority mail.
The 4-member delegation led by former speaker and member of
TPIE, Mr. Pema Jungney, include Mr. Serta Tsultrim, Ms. Yangchen Dolkar and Ms.
Dhardon Sharling. While deeming the steadfast support of the Indian Government
and its people towards the Tibetan people as significant, the delegation
appealed the Indian leaders for substantial and public expressions of
solidarity and support amid the unprecedented spate of self-immolations by
Tibetans inside Tibet and the subsequent deepening crackdown by Chinese
Government. The delegates also urged India to engage in urgent diplomatic
actions pressuring the Chinese Government on various fronts.
After a successful lobbying work in West Bengal, Odisha and
Chhattisgarh the delegation will visit Jharkhand, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya,
Assam, Sikkim and Nagaland for the ‘All -India lobby campaign.’
