Members of Parliament from Sikkim have
been pursuing the matter at the Centre regarding the request made by Chief
Minister Pawan Chamling to Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde recently to
allow His Holiness Gyalwa Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje to visit Rabongla in
south Sikkim during the consecration of the Buddha Statue-cum-Eco garden in
March next year.
In a follow up to the Chief Minister’s
request to the Union Home Minister, M.P. Lok Sabha, Shri P. D. Rai and M.P.
Rajya Sabha Shri Hishey Lachungpa met the Union Home Minister on 27 November at
his North Block office at Raisina Hill and also today at the Parliament House
reiterating the request to allow the Karmapa to visit Rabongla in March 2013.
On both the occasions, the Home
Minister took the request on a positive note and assured to look into the
matter.
The MPs also apprised Shri Shinde that
in the event of a clearance from the Ministry, the State Government was fully
committed to make all security arrangements and abide by all instructions of
the Centre regarding the visit.
