DHARAMSALA, 16 September: Tibetan MPs accused Sikyong Penpa Tsering of “distorting and misinterpreting Tibet’s history” on the sixth day of the 10th Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile, following his remarks in Tezu settlement suggesting that “should Tibetans pursue full independence, the so-called Tibet Autonomous Region would be more entitled to do so, if viewed through the lens of history.”
MPs referenced the Sikyong’s Tezu statements, in which he said: “The reality of Tibet during the 5th Dalai Lama was different; if you look at the subsequent history of Tibet during the 6th, 7th, and 8th Dalai Lamas and onward.” He appeared to imply that while Tibet was largely unified under the 5th Dalai Lama, the subsequent Dalai Lamas exercised authority mainly over the central region of Tibet, facing a more fragmented political reality in the frontier provinces.
