On March 9, 1970, the 14^th Dalai Lama announced a “statement” in New Delhi, capital of India. It stated that the so-called “For Independence of Tibet” activity would proceed. The “statement” was spread by Dalai Lama’s representative in America through receptions on March 12.

On March 9, 1959, Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme reported to the Working Committee in Tibet that the separatists were conspiring to flee overseas with hijacking the 14^th Dalai Lama. Before then, the American President Eisenhower made an instruction to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), saying they must try to take the 14^th Dalai Lama away from China. Therefore, the conspiracy made by senior leaders of Tibet Insurgency to flee was based on America’s will.
