DHARAMSHALA: The house of Tibetan parliament-in-exile, where deliberations are going on from last two days on devolution of political powers of the Dalai Lama, is on the verge of finalizing the amendments.
The house has almost made all the decisions with regard to the draft amendments to the charter on handing over political responsibilities to the elected Tibetan leadership.
In an informal interaction with mediapersons on Saturday evening, the Tibetan government-in-exile prime minister Prof Samdong Rinpoche said that the 14th Tibetan parliament-in-exile was completing its term on Sunday.
"The powers had almost been delegated among others to the Tibetan prime minister-in-exile, speaker, deputy speaker, House and Justice Commission," he said. He said that two readings on the draft amendments had already taken place in the ongoing session of the parliament and almost everything had been completed.
He added that the third reading on the draft amendments would take place on Sunday morning in the parliament session and then it would be forwarded to the Dalai Lama for his consent. Dalai Lama will give his decision in a day or so.
If the Dalai Lama approves the amendments in the charter then these would be enforced in this session only as the 43-member parliaments elected to the 15th Tibetan parliament-in-exile are scheduled to take oath on May 30.
