Full support to Tibetans: CM Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru, August 10: The state government will extend its complete support to Tibetans who are living in the state, said Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy.
He was speaking at ‘Thank You Karnataka,’ a programme organized to mark the six-decade-long exile of Tibetans organized by Tibetans living in the state.
Tibetans were sheltered in the state when Nijalingappa was the chief minister. Since then, the state government has provided all kinds of cooperation to them. It will be continued for the development of Tibetans, he assured.
Lands were allotted to the Tibetans in the districts of Mysuru, Uttara Kannada, and Chamarajanagar. The relations between Karnataka and Tibet would be stronger, Kumaraswamy added.
Speaking at the occasion, Tibetan priest Dalai Lama said, “India was a guru for Tibetan. It has taught us the knowledge of History, philosophy, and principles of diversity. It was everybody's responsibility to return such a culture, rituals and the principles of nonviolence to India.”
