CTA refutes "brainwashing" Nepali children, accuses Shugden sect
(Tibet.net; The Tribune) The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) has refuted Nepali press reports that it would lure Children from Nepal for "brainwashing" them in the name of educating them. CTA clarified that it concentrates on providing education to young Tibetans escaping from Tibet and hence does not have the financial resources to extend this to Nepali children. CTA also hinted that "some disgruntled elements in the exile Tibetan community", by which it meant members of the Shugden sect standing in opposition to the Dalai Lama, taking advantage of the poverty and unemployment in Nepal to carry out mass recruitment of young Nepalese children in the name of the Dalai Lama and CTA in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries run by the sect. They were then using Nepalese to create unrest in the Tibetan community in exile.
