Dalai Lama 'never involved' in exile Tibet polls

ON THE WEB, 19 June 2010 (The Daily Yomiuri)

Both the political and spiritual future of Tibet should be decided in a democratic fashion, the Dalai Lama said Saturday during a visit to Japan.
The Dalai Lama arrived in Tokyo on Friday and is scheduled to speak in Nagano, Kanazawa and Yokohama before leaving this country on 28 June.
Asked in an interview with The Yomiuri Shimbun if he intended to name a successor as leader of the Tibetan government to continue negotiations with China after his death, the Dalai Lama spoke of the elections held by the Tibetan government-in-exile every five years since 2001. The next election is scheduled for 2011.
“I’m never involved,” the Dalai Lama said as he travelled by Shinkansen bullet train to Nagano. “If I favour one person, then I think many people go that way, so it would not be pure[ly] democratic.”
“It’s entirely up to the Tibetan people,” he said. “Political leadership is quite well established, so it’s not my concern.”
Regarding the spiritual leadership of his country, the Dalai Lama said the Tibetans and other concerned people, such as members of the Himalayan region of Buddhists, should decide whether they want the position of Dalai Lama to continue after his death. “If the majority of them feel the Dalai Lama institution is no longer relevant, then that institution [should] automatically cease, no problem,” he said.
The Dalai Lama said he believed that if he were to pass away within the next few years, most of the people concerned would want the institution to continue. The issue has been discussed at gatherings of Tibetan spiritual leaders over the last two or three years, the Dalai Lama said, but not finalised.
“These spiritual leaders of different Tibetan Buddhist tradition, they all have the responsibility. It cannot be decided by myself.”

Mr. Youngdung emphasized the importance of democracy, a democratic system with several political parties and a two chamber system in the Tibetan Parliament: one chamber of people who are directly elected by the Tibetans worldwide and one chamber with representatives of the different regions in Tibet and the Tibetan buddhist schools. The NDPT emphasizes the importance of well educated, young and active members of the new Tibetan Parliament, who also speak English.

Although the political stands are totally different between the Office of Tibet and the NDPT, the meeting was open and cordial. Political discussions, an exchange of ideas and dialogue are however always interesting and important.

On the same day, Chime had a meeting with the Tibet Intergroup in the European Parliament in Brussels.

China’s Take on New Zealand Scuffle



China’s government has finally offered its side of the story of Friday’s scuffle between New Zealand legislator Russel Norman and members of visiting Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping’s delegation.

New Zealand’s Green Party Co-leader Dr Russel Norman displays Tibetan National Flag outside the Parliament. Norman was later assaulted by Chinese security personnel as he was making a stand against China’s human rights record in Tibet. The mistreatment of Norman on the grounds of Parliament by Chinese security personnel shows how important it is to stand up for democracy and human rights, the Green Party said yesterday after the incident.

Shockingly, Beijing doesn’t see things quite the same way as the Green Party co-leader.

Norman said he was “assaulted” while protesting China’s Tibet policies as Xi’s group entered a New Zealand parliamentary building. On Saturday, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman described the incident this way, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency: “When [Xi's] delegation arrived at the entrance of the parliament building in Wellington Friday noon, it was hostilely harassed by a New Zealand demonstrator within close distance. The demonstrator’s behavior posed a threat to the security and dignity of the delegation, and far exceeded the boundaries of the freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.”

The spokesman called the protest “an attempt to spoil the atmosphere of Xi’s visit” and said it was “doomed to fail.” Xinhua said New Zealand has apologized to China for the incident, though that couldn’t immediately be verified.

The Xinhua report said nothing about the actions of the Chinese delegation. Whether Norman’s actions exceeded the boundaries of the freedom of speech and freedom of assembly as understood by New Zealanders, and whether Norman’s purported threat to the “dignity of the delegation” is relevant to a decision by members of that delegation to physically confront an elected representative of a foreign country on that country’s soil, will probably continue to be debated.

But Norman also isn’t getting backup for his version of events from New Zealand police.

In a statement late Friday, police in the Kiwi capital said a preliminary report on the incident found “there is insufficient evidence tonight to substantiate an allegation of assault,” as made by Norman.

“Police have spoken to a number of people who witnessed the incident, reviewed available footage, and approached the Chinese delegation who declined to comment with information that might assist the inquiry,” the statement quoted Peter Cowan, Wellington city area police commander, as saying. “Within the timeframes available to us police have decided there is insufficient evidence to substantiate any assault charges at this time.”

The statement said police would continue making inquiries over the weekend, but “will be making no further comment.”

·         He gave talk on democracy and on practical dramatic example like Indian politics which we can see all the time.
  • He also mentioned about the survey made by TIMES news paper regarding Tibetan after His Holiness the Dalai Lama's death.
  • He told people how important it is to have a bicameral legislation in our community and why we need it. All the democratic nations and developed countries have bicameral legislation, in order to help the nation to develop.
  • Regarding our nominees for the kalon Tripa and especially members of parliament. Since Chithue nominees are large in number, and many people have different ideas, opinions and views which differ from each individual on the nominees. But he warned among the people that they shouldn't be influence by anyone who comments on any of Chithue nominees. All they have to do is a little research by the people.
  • Public might not like one of NDPT nominees from the list but people shouldn't decide at once that every nominee is same like the one he/she doesn't like. Every candidate is different and has different intellectual and potential.
  • He interprets the importance on the rights of voting which is one of top priority under democracy.
  • Democracy is considered right way to lead the nation by everyone because in democracy there is participation of people either in directly and indirectly.
  • Then he came back to the main point and he related the reason for visiting to Kollegal settlement and he made introduction of two Kalon Tripa nominees and members of parliament.
  • Mr. Chime la briefly given an introduction of NDPT's two prominent Kalon Tripa nominees and their bio-datas to public for better understanding.
  • In terms of Chithue, the endorsed candidates should regard two conditions of NDPT. It clearly mentioned that NDPT support only those nominees who finalized in supporting democracy in Tibetan society.
  • Later he told the differences between NGOs and political party, whereas every Tibetans thinks that both political party and NGOs are the same. So he made a very clear interpretation on it.
 These are few main topics that he gave talk on, the speech lasted for 1 hour and people were really motivated at that time. Later on the questions and answers session and also feed back or suggestion from the people was taken place. The few question/suggestions were like;
1.    We have to study the root cause of people not voting, and we have to give an advices to college students and those of who are young and educated so that they would take part in voting.
2.    People asked whom they should prefer for Kalon Tripa, the one who is more experience and one who is energetic.
3.    Most of youth compliant that in our society democracy is not well established since peoples' participation is lacking behind. And student in colleges and university couldn't take part in election because of stiff rules.
Like these there were few discussion and debates. By 11:16 a.m. meeting is concluded. We have distributed the posters to chief to stick around.
