Dear readers,
Mr. Tsering Tsomo has complained to this reporter regarding the publication of a story named “Dalai Lama’s envoy Thinley Gyatso at Sino-Nepal border?", saying this is false. He has stated in his mail that no meeting between Paras and anybody called ‘envoy’ has taken place in Mustang. Besides, Mr. Tsomo also states that Mr. Thinley Gyatso is not the representative of Dalai Lama.
This reporter based the story mainly on a Nepali website as indicated in the story itself. The reporter does not have any intention to harm the sentiment of Tibetans. Other parts in the story are widely exposed and undenied, e.g. visit of US, Indian and European ambassadors to the same sensitive spot.
However, bringing any sensitive issue into public discourse for verification is sometimes opted due to remote geography and concealment of information.
Finally, information recipients (i.e. readers or users themselves) in public and citizen journalism become the key forces to examine published reports through global interactive communication processes.
It would be worth noting that many national and international players have been struggling to give their own shape to Nepal’s volatile situation in which certain national sovereignty-related issues are debatable and worth hearing publicly for further verification and clarification.
The fundamental essence of the news story was to stimulate interest in the issue of threat to Nepal’s national independence, sovereignty and geopolitical existence.
