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.
