Nowadays, issues on dismissal of Dhondup Dorjee sparked much debate among the online community.

Here's the scenario of the whole incident:

On 8th February 2010, the President of the Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC) convened the conventional conference and decided to dismiss the Vice President Dhondup Dorjee from the TYC according to the Article 12 ,Chapter 8 &Article 7, Chapter 9 of the Rules and Regulations.

Mr. Dhondup Dorjee was strongly opposed to this resolution. He wrote a letter to clarify this matter. In the letter, he listed six reasons to prove the decision undemocratic and false. He insisted that it was not appropriate to apply on him the rule which should be used to restrict the behavior of regional chapter members. He stressed as a Centrex member he did have the right to have decision of his dismissal made by the key leaders of the Centrex and GBM. In addition, he also sought advice from Sonam Topgyal, the Kalon of TGiE, and the former leaders of TYC who helped draft the TYC constitution and managed to win their support

Is Dhondup Dorjee really innocent? Certainly not.
The essence of his argument is to prove the resolution undemocratic and false. As a matter of fact, his argument full of flaws doesn't hold water at all.

Firstly, it was obvious that this resolution was passed through by the majority of key leaders of TYC. We can clearly see the signatures shown at the bottom of the resolution. He mentioned the Rules and Regulations over and over again. How did he obey the Rules? He lacked sense of discipline, and gave no respect on the resolution made by the majority. He never remorse on the mistakes he have made. Is it right to have internal affairs which can be solved within the organization posted on the website?

Secondly, why didn't he say a word about matters on visa applications in his complaint letter? What he cared about most is his personal interest, rather than the interest of TYC, the interest of our nation. JUST SEE WHAT HE DID. He privately contacted American Embassy and leaked to them the real purpose of visa applications which made American Embassy confiscate all the issued visas and totally ruined the important campaign plans that have been prepared for months. Undoubtedly, it would be a rather humiliating experience for his whole life.

Thirdly, of course, it's not wrong to seek advice from the former leaders especially on the explanations on the Constitution. However, as an organization with the history of 40 years, TYC has its own maturely institutional mechanism to resort to. Why did he turn to the former leaders for help? Did he distort the facts in front of these beloved leaders?

In my opinion, Dhondup Dorjee was the black sheep in the Tibetan Youth Congress. It was his selfishness that totally undermine TYC's international image.

I fully understand whats going in your mind. I personally know him how stubborn Mr. Tsewang Rigzin is. He never listen to others people thoughts and ideas.
This is very undemocratic if you dont even inform events and activities among executive members. i dont find any reason to be kept secret to orgainise hunger strike wherever orgainised.
Even more, it is very undemocratic to remove or impeached Vice President without consulting with Regional Chapters or convening meeting with RTYC Chapters. It is either he did not understand the rules and regulation well or showed his stubborness.
It is very shameful and disgrace to post with centrex letter head.Whatever has happened i hope atleast that it give him some lessons in the future that being the president of any organisation has no rights to do whatever things comes in mind. You have to go by rules and regulation of organisation.
For example, Our Elected Prime Minister His Eminence Samdhong Rinpoche, he opted our struggle for DHENPAY OTSUK but since Our exile policy goes on MIDDLE PATH he has to follow that.
I do appreciate that you went to serve the community leaving your wife and kids back. That was bold move.
But communication is needed when you work in such big organisation. I think this problem happened just because of your stubborness and your acts of dictatorship

Kunchok La,

Going through your article (Is Dhondup Dorjee innocent), it looks like Mr. Tsewang Rigzin had lied to American Embassy officials about the purpose of their visit to America whereas Dhondup Dorjee revealed the truth to American Embassy.

Why did he (Mr. Tsewang Rigzin) lied to the Embassy? It is more shameful act to obtain visa by lying to Embassy officials. I would like to tell you the reason why it is more shameful becuase TYC is not a small organisation. If it is individual case, it may be acceptable as this kind of case often always happens. But TYC is one of the most active registered Non-government Organisation with more than 30,000 members with 40 years of establishment.

I think there is no reason to lie to American Embassy as Embassy has been issuing visa to all Tibetan officials so far. On that note i think Dhondup Dorjee did the right thing to contact Embassy and reveal the truth for future and long term benefits. I know that his (Tsewang Rigzin) will be finished this year but TYC's events and activities will be organised as long as the struggle of Tibet cause will remain. So, think for future TIBET.

first,i think this issue is personal matter of tyc..and above dhondup dorjee i think he is the only well educated n well experienced executive member from all..he already visited usa n europe to attend high level meeting and he represent well..i dont think so that there has left any
well educated n well experience member Beardstown Opera House in tyc if he can dismiss..he is well qualified and got a degree from JNU..one of the top university in all india..so,we all know that it happen from our history..that some one is qualified;talented and educated than other of his colleague dislike him.....atlast,i think its all are just personal reason to expose him.otherwise,he is going to finish his 2nd term and all other are newly elected...its my personal view.....and i totally support to him......
