Karmapa: "Zero Possibility" of Arrest
"The Himachal Pradesh government today gave a clean chit to Karmapa Ugyen Trinely Dorji in a foreign currency seizure case, saying he has no links with the money seized from his transit home near Dharamsala.
"The huge foreign currency recovered during raids from the Gyuto Monastery, the transit home of the Karmapa, are donations and offerings from devotees and the Karmapa has no links with it as the affairs of the trust are managed by trustees," Chief Secretary Rajwant Sandhu told reporters here.
"The Karmapa is a revered religious leader of the Buddhists and the government has no intentions to interfere in religious affairs of the Buddhists," she said, adding there was no question of any action against the Karmapa and also no reason to believe that he has links with the foreign currency seizure to the tune of Rs 7.5 crore from Sidhbari.
When asked whether there was any chance of the Karmapa "being arrested" in connection with the seizure, she said there was "zero" possibility of any such thing happening.
