SIBLAC seeks Sakya Trizin’s intervention on the Rathong Chu hydel projects

GANGTOK, 21 Oct: The Sikkim Bhutia Lepcha Apex Committee (SIBLAC) has called on the Sakya Trizin to “convince the State government to scrap all the three proposed anti-Buddhist Power Projects on the Rathongchu river”. This, the organization resolved to do at a meeting held today, informs a SIBLAC release.
Welcoming the Sakya Trizin to Sikkim, the meeting expressed gratitude to the spiritual leader for conducting ‘Jensay’ for the lives lost to the earthquake in Sikkim.
Accepting that development was vital and necessary for the all-round development of the people and the nation, the release asserts that “the same development cannot be allowed or afforded at the cost of our religion and lineage and above all, its sanctity”.
“In the late 13th century, it was the great Sakya lineage and Sakya Jumo Guru who became the nucleus to the Sikkimese people and its rulers. Today, once again, we look towards His Holiness the Sakya Trichen Rinpoche to uphold and preserve the same Sikkimese lineage and its sanctity”, the release adds.
