The Dalai Lama holds a deeply important place not just for Tibetans but in addition for thousands and thousands of his followers around the globe. The choice relating to his successor lies solely with the Dalai Lama, Union minister Kiren Rijiju mentioned in a press release.
India on Thursday strongly objected to China’s assertion that Beijing should approve the subsequent reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, stating that solely the Tibetan non secular chief has the authority to resolve on his successor.
Union Minister for Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju, in an official assertion, mentioned, “The Dalai Lama holds a deeply important place not just for Tibetans but in addition for thousands and thousands of his followers around the globe. The choice relating to his successor lies solely with the Dalai Lama.”
Rijiju, together with Janata Dal (United) chief Lallan Singh, is at present in Dharamshala representing the Indian authorities at occasions celebrating the Dalai Lama’s ninetieth birthday. “That is purely a non secular event,” Rijiju mentioned.
