they met with all the important officials of the Central Tibetan Administration
( CTA ), including Samdhong Rinpoche , Tibet 's Prime Minister-in-Exile and Dolma
Gyari, Deputy Speaker of the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile. Rinpoche discussed various
issues with them to take the Tibetan cause to the next level. "They (members of
International Campaign for Tibet ) come here to see His Holiness and also meet
we people to review their work and to strategise in future how prioritise what
kind of campaigning they should do, so for this consultation they have paid a
visit. It was actually coincide with International Tibetan Support Group, which
is going to be held in Haryana from tomorrow," Rinpoche added. However, this is
