The Tibetan government-in-exile has made a heartfelt plea to all democratic nations to put pressure on China to release the Panchen Lama, who was taken captive in 1995. The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) based in Himachal Pradesh reiterated this call during a significant gathering held to commemorate the spiritual leader’s 35th birthday. The Panchen Lama is revered by Tibetans as second only to the Dalai Lama, and his release has been a long-standing demand of the Tibetan community.
Meanwhile, in a surprising turn of events, Bihar YouTuber Manish Kashyap, who was previously arrested for allegedly creating ‘fake videos’ about attacks on Bihari migrants in Tamil Nadu, has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Kashyap, who joined the party in the presence of Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari, revealed that his decision was influenced by his mother’s admiration for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Despite facing serious charges and being under the National Security Act, Kashyap expressed gratitude towards the BJP for supporting him and helping him clear his name.
These contrasting stories highlight the complexities and diverse narratives that shape our world today. While one community fights for the release of a revered spiritual leader, another individual finds solace and support in a political party during challenging times. As these events unfold, they serve as a reminder of the power of advocacy, resilience, and the impact of personal beliefs on one’s journey.
