We left Dekyi Ling early in the 8:00 a.m. since we had to go further to Clementown for a meeting. But not to worry we reach there as time allotted. But there were no public gathered, Tibetan women association of Clementown were fill with young women who were very naïve yet energetic and so helpful and ran here and there to announce to gather people.
We waited there and when the time was by 9:30a.m. We decided to start with our president’s speech. There were around 60-100 people, including regional Tibetan women’s Association.
To start with I gave very brief introduction of our party and president Mr. Chime youngdong.
Mr. Chime sat down in front of mike and gave the speech mostly related with the campaign and spoke very loudly and clearly to the public, which made the people thankful to us. There were many topics to mention on which he spoke about, where every topic is related to campaign, interesting and informative.
With-out mentioning every topic, he started the talk with the introduction about the 2011 Kalon Tripa nominees and future members’ of parliament. He also informed the people that Mr. Tashi wangdue was our nominee but he withdrew because of his personal health condition. He further gave brief introduction of our two Kalon Tripa nominees since it’s our most important duty. Regarding Chithue, we had nominated 15 people each from three province of Tibet. Which we have not finalized it yet and we are waiting them to agree on our two recent conditions which we have produce before them.
Later he spoke about the only right which have to the people under democratic country that is to vote, people have the responsibility which is to vote and peoples’ practical duty is to participate politically.
He then continued about how important it is to have bi-cameral legislation in our democratic country. Mr. Chime related this topic with the critical situation that is life in exile after H. H. The Dalia Lama. Which everyone is scared! But that doesn’t stop us to live on and fight for our right against Chinese government. In the talk it was very important to relate and give example to the people, so he put up some example that is, England “common house and lord house”, United State “senate and representative house” and India “Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha”. Which mean that we are also the democratic nation and we need two houses in parliament, in Mr. Chime’s point of view this is the only way to safe our exile government in future and with this there are transparency to the people and interdependency among these houses which will leap toward better future tomorrow.
When he already spoke about the critical situation then he further reminded the people about the survey made by “times Magazine” that, life after His Holiness where most of Tibetan people will go abroad in anyway, some will become Indian citizenship and some will be confused in middle with wondering what to do next and this scary survey may come true in real if we don’t cautious by now.
He strongly told people to be bright citizen and vote for the people who they think can lead the Tibet and who acknowledge the democracy. Where NDPT have full faith in our two Kalon Tripa nominees, Dr. lobsang Sangay and former Kalon Tripa Mr. Tenzin Namgyal Tethong.
His talk concluded by 11:00 a.m. and comes the question and answer session.
Later we proceeded toward Tibetan settlement in Lhakanwala by 12:00 noon. Where we reached there around 1:00 p.m. and we were warmly welcomed by old aged home assistance Sherab lak, regional Tibetan Women Association (TWA) president Dawa Choedon, T.W.A. Secretary Tenzin Dolma and public there. With little rest the meeting started by 1:30p.m. The meeting was held in Tibetan old aged home, where there were around 100 to 150 people.
Regional TWA president Dawa Choedon lak gave introduction to the people about our party president, me and Dekyi Ling regional president.
Mr. Chime then gave the talk for about an hour, the talk was like before where the most important point was to introduce our candidates and also the reason behind Kalon Tripa Sangdong Rinpochen who cannot stand for the next 2011 Kalon voting and his disagreement in standing up in future. Anyways when he concluded there was question and answer session where, public mostly gave their point of view and their ideas. We gratefully acknowledge it.
Before we left, we had tea with the members there and spoke on different topics. By the time we were leaving we saw lots of Tibetan aged people there who were respecting us a-lot, and we can see in their eyes that they have great hope in Tibetan youngsters and thanking all of us in taking such a great step. It was bit of thrilling moment for all of us.
After all the campaign in these two places was successful and bitter but sweet trip in terms of future Tibet.
We thank everyone and all the regional NGO were so supportive, where we feel like we are real Tibetan!!!!!!! And we feel like time is running out.
