 "Forum Urges Bharat Ratna for Dalai Lama, Seeks Parliament Address Amid China TeAll-Partynsions")
In a show of support for the Tibetan cause, an all-party forum wrote a letter to the Centre, urging the government to confer the prestigious Bharat Ratna to Tibet’s spiritual leader Dalai Lama. The group also urged the government to allow him to address a joint session at the Indian parliament, a move that can draw wrath from China.
According to The Economic Times, the letter was written by the all-party Indian parliamentary forum for Tibet, which includes MPs from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and Janata Dal (United), etc. The group sent out a request to the government after they adopted a resolution for the same during their second meeting this month.
n a disturbing manifesto laced with hatred, gender confusion, and anti-Semitism, 23-year-old Robin Westman detailed what he planned to wear for “my shooting"—before storming Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis during a back-to-school Mass and killing two children.
“I don’t want to dress girly all the time but I guess sometimes I really like it. I know I am not a woman but I definitely don’t feel like a man… I really like my outfit," Westman wrote in a chilling post, part of a broader hate-filled message that was mostly written in Cyrillic and accompanied by twisted videos later removed from the internet.
US Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the authenticity of the video, saying the “deeply sick murderer scrawled" the words ‘For the Children’ and ‘Where is your God?’ and ‘Kill Donald Trump’ on the rifle magazine.
According to CNN, Westman had attended the same school where he carried out the crime. Yearbook records reveal that the shooter had graduated from the school in 2017.
ATTACKED SCHOOL WHERE MOM ONCE WORKED
Authorities also revealed that the shooter had a close family connection to the school, given that his mother was a former staff member, the New York Post reported.
Mary Grace Westman worked as a secretary at the Minneapolis Catholic school for five years before retiring in 2021, with a post from the church confirming her employment.
“She has provided such wonderful hospitality, friendship and compassion to all who gathered for the last five years at Annunciation. You will be missed! Congratulations on your retirement!" the church wrote.
