Parliamentary delegation of Tibetan govt in exile meets CM, governors in four states

A parliamentary delegation of the Tibetan government in exile in India Wednesday said more than any other country, it is India which can play a role in addressing the Sino-Tibetan issues, even as the group's leader asserted that the its administration had "deep faith" in its middle-way approach to the situation.

Youdon Aukatsang, and two other parliamentarians in the four-member delegation that visited four states -- Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat and Rajasthan -- in the past 20 days, interacted with reporters here and shared their experiences of meeting political leaders and the public in general in these states.

"We met with governors, chief ministers, speakers, lawmakers and other political leaders in various states as part of an outreach campaign launched by the Tibetan Parliament in Exile this year. All the states were very receptive to the message that we sought to convey to them, particulary the leaders in Gujarat," Youdon, head of the delegation, said.

The four lawmakers reached Delhi on Monday for the last leg of the visit and have already sought an appointment with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, she said.

"We were slated to meet Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia tomorrow, but we have received as communication that he has asked to postpone the meet to next week,"
