SIBLAC mourns passing away of Colonel Wangchuk

RESOLVES TO GO TO ANY EXTENT TO PRESERVE BUDDHA DHARMA
GANGTOK, 11 Nov: A meeting of the Denjong Lhade Medhe (Sikkimese Monks and lay people’s meeting) of the block delegates of SIBLAC was held here in Gangtok on 10 November informs a press release issued by the organisation. Also present at the meeting was Prince Jigme Wangchuk Yapshi Phuenkhang as the guest-of-honour and representatives of major Sikkimese Monasteries including Pemayangtse and Enchey amongst others.
Representatives of several organisations such as Survival Sikkimese, NASBO, Denjong Chyarig Chogpo, Affected Citizens of Teesta, KRC, Concerned Lepchas Of Sikkim, also attended the meeting.
As per the press statement the meeting condoled the passing away of Colonel Wangchuk, a dedicated and founding member of the organisation. The meeting also stood in-silence for Two minutes as a mark of respect for the deceased.
It was also unanimously resolved “That late Colonel Wangchuk was a dedicated social worker whose very deliveries as a responsible member of the community have always been bold and principled. On his passing away, the BLs of Sikkim in particular has lost a great and dedicated social leader, while the vacuum created by his passing away shall ever remain irreparable.” The gathering further prayed to bestow the bereaved family members with calm, peace and strength to bear with the irreparable loss at this hour of utmost bereavement. The release also states that the the entire BL community mourns the passing away of Colonel Wangchuk.
The gathering then unanimously resolved to welcome the constitution of the reported High Power Committee by the Indian Home Ministry to asses on the religious implications caused by the haphazard Hydro-Power Projects over sacred Rathongchu River in West Sikkim. However, the members expressed their apprehension on the very intention of the Indian authority given the fact that despite the lapse of many weeks, the aggrieved organisations and people, i.e. SIBLAC and others had still not been approached by it, thereby raising doubts over the very intention of the Indian authorities.
Finally the meeting resolved to “…move on to any extent, be it national or international to preserve and protect the sacredness of Buddha Dharma in the Mahaguru Padmasambhava’s hidden land of Bayul Dremo Dzong.”
 The Lhade Medhi meeting was chaired by SIBLAC Convenor and coordinated by Spokesperson Tenzing C’wang.
