DHARAMSHALA: Sikyong Dr Lobsang Sangay officially withdrew the name of Ms Tenzin Dhardon Sharling from the 15th Kashag on the third and final day of the 1st session of the 16th Tibetan Parliament.
The withdrawal of her name from the 15th Kashag was necessitated as she falls short of the age limit required to be a Kalon as enshrined in Article 29(2) of the Charter for Tibetans in exile. The minimum age requirement for one to be appointed as Kalon is 35.
Ms Tenzin Dhardon Sharling was born on 23 September 1981; therefore she is three months short of being 35.
Meanwhile, Sikyong Dr Lobsang Sangay has temporarily taken the additional charge of Department of Information and International Relations (DIIR) from 3 June 2016, according to a circular issued by the Kashag Secretariat.
