NAMCHI, 02 Feb: Monks from the Palchen Choesling Monastery and members of the Tibetan community living at the Tibetan refugee settlement at Ravangla [in South Sikkim] were joined by devotees and the followers of the XVIIth Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje to march in a peace rally taken out in Rabongla today. The rally had more than 150 monks and 200 devotees and began from the Palchen Choesling Monastery and walked up to the power station at Ravangla and returned to the monastery where it dispersed.
The rally was taken out to extend emotional support to the Karmapa in the face of the media witch-hunt launched against him [painting him as a Chinese agent] and the sensationalism which appears to be fanned along by the concerned government agencies. (PURAN TAMANG)
