DAY 51
A drop of hope and light in the wide blue sea of animosity was the driving force behind the recent remarks of Sikkim Chief Minister Dr. Pawan Chamling who extended an open invitation to Dawa Lepcha and Tenzing Gyatso who are completing 50 days of their indefinite hunger strike . An invitation for meeting that coincided with the annual celebration of Mother Earth on occassion of biggest festival of Lepchas 'Tendong Lho rum Faat'.
