No clear views emerge after

It is also learnt that some of the delegates are of the opinion to let the political leadership decide about the future course of action for finding a solution to the issue. However, there are few takers of this view, said sources, adding that the voice of the people should prevail as the spiritual leader himself has said.

Sources said another view that has emerged is that the Dalai Lama is one individual who represents the Tibetans and can continue to do so.

Those belonging to the older generation consider the middle-way policy appropriate for finding a solution and are favouring its continuation vigorously. But, on the other hand, the youth do not agree with their views and are favouring independence. The youth have made it clear that they cannot compromise on their stand on independence.

Meanwhile, the chairpersons of the 15 sub-committees that have deliberated on various issues relating to Tibet separately have compiled their reports, it is learnt. Some of the sub-committees held discussions on the situation till late in the evening. These reports would be submitted during the plenary session on Friday and a final conclusion would be drawn later.

The organisers of the special meeting, which was convened on the directions of the Dalai Lama after rejection of the demand for autonomy by China, are likely to come up with a conclusion on Saturday. On the basis of this outcome, the next course of action would be chalked out.
