Describing the Dalai Lama as “apostle of peace”, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Thursday said there is a need to contribute significantly for the cause of the Tibetan people.
Addressing an event organised on the occasion of the Tibetan New Year, he also said the Government of India’s welfare schemes should also be extended to the large Tibetan community living in different parts of the country.
Rijuju said, “Tibetan people never create problems in India deliberately. They are very peace loving people. And the Dalai Lama is apostle of peace. He is most loved and respected person in the world.”
Praying for the long and healthy life of the Dalai Lama, Rijiju said the spiritual leader’s views are widely respected and accepted across the globe.
Government of India may review the Tibetan refugee policy from time to time for the ease of living of the community which was displaced from Tibet.
Rijuju said at the event held at Delhi’s Tibetan settlement Majnu Ka Tila,We need to contribute substantially for the cause of Tibetan people..
“One day you will live at a place with dignity and have a respectable life,” he said.
The Minister said the government of India’s various welfare schemes for the people should also be extended to the large Tibetan community living in India on humanitarian grounds. He said Tibetan people were spread in different parts of India and they were very hardworking and successful.
Rijiju said the Narendra Modi Government had refined the Tibetan refugee policy and he was the first Union minister to visit many of the Tibetan settlements in India.
“Rules for the Tibetan people need to be re-looked from time to time for the ease of living.
If needed it will be done in future,” he added.
The Minister said the issue of entry points could be re-looked in consultation with the Ministries of Home and External Affairs.
India is governed by law, rules and regulations and you live peacefully and respectfully.
