Any political matters must be handled by the Prime Minister, Lobsang Sangay and not be HHDL. HHDL has already resigned from political involvement and it is the duty of the Prime Minister to speak up on the self-immolation of the two monks. But what has he done? In the interview he mentioned that he is expected to do something but he finds it challenging, difficult and painful. How can a leader be so weak and his mood easily dampened when he heard of the self-immolation? It is such a shame that the Prime Minister can't stand up for his people.
how can someone like him be a prime minister in the first place? If he finds this challenging, difficult and painful, how can he even survive tibetan politics which can be quite nasty at times and more often than not tie in with Buddhism and then try to justify their wrong behavior with Buddhist ideas and terms, but it does not make things right just because there were radical saints that are documented in Tibetan Buddhism.
what puzzles me is why would he feel such emotions? Why cant he see them objectively and then make a prepared statement based on that? Would any nation in the world ever take a leader like that seriously or would they just see him as a pushover. He is a prime minister now, he should understand that he is responsible for the happiness of the nation and that his feelings are not important.
with that said, it is really the first time that CTA is not being governed by HHDL and perhaps in lieu of that, they require some adjustments to be made before they can actually run efficiently. Perhaps we should give lobsang sangyay some time to prove himself. After all everything is still relatively new to him, especially on the intricacies of tibetan politics. He should really learn up on the history of Tibet.
HHDL has been at it since the time when he was Songtsen Gampo, and lobsang has been at it since he was 35 years old. He cant beat over 1000 years of experience of leading the tibetans, so i'd say we give him 1-2 years to adjust to his new role. If he still fails to do what is expected from a prime minister, that goes to show that the tibetans truly have nobody to lead them at all and that they will have no hope at all...
