GANGTOK, 12 Feb: The Karmapa Reception Committee and the Joint Action Committee have expressed their gratitude towards all devotees and lay people for coming out in support of the XVIIth Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje at a time when he was being hounded by media speculation and allegations.
They have also expressed their happiness on the “clean chit” given to the Karmapa by the Himachal Pradesh government on allegations relating to his being involved in benami land deals or anything illicit in the cash recovered from the raid on the Sidhbari monastery.
The KRC and JAC spokesperson, Thukchuk Lachungpa, while addressing a press conference today, stressed that the faith of the people in Karmapa had never been shaken and now that an official clean chit has been put on record by the Himachal government [which had carried out the raids], it offered some reason to cheer.
He stated that the conviction of the people that the truth would eventually prevail, has come true.
He also expressed his gratitude for the ongoing unbiased investigation by the concerned authorities.
“We also express our gratitude towards the central and Himachal Governments for their quick and positive decision on the Karmapa by clearing all the clouds of doubts on him,” he said.
The conference was also addressed by the executive members of JAC and KRC.
These reactions come in response to a press statement issued by the Himachal Pradesh chief secretary, Rajwant Sandhu, who told reporters yesterday that, “there is no involvement of the Karmapa. We have reasons to believe that some donations came for the monastery and the Karmapa has nothing to do with that. Monastery functionaries were managing the affairs.”
The chief secretary was also quoted as saying; “The Karmapa is a religious head and has followers across the world. We respect their religious activities. We don't interfere in any religious affairs. We have full respect for their religious activities and are in no way intending curbing them in any form or manner as also we are aware of the fact that the Karmapa is not involved in any monetary activities or shady benami land deals.”
The Karmapa Office of Administration has also expressed gratitude towards the Indian authorities for investigating the case thoroughly and bringing the truth to the forefront.
“This fully confirms the confidence His Holiness the Karmapa has himself expressed from the very beginning in the Indian judicial system. We are glad the investigation has put to rest the unfounded rumors that had been circulating. We are very thankful for all the support that has come pouring in from all over India, across the Himalayas and all corners of the world,” reads a joint statement issued yesterday by the Spokespersons of the Karmapa Office of Administration, Karma Topden and Deki Chungyalpa.
