Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama on Saturday congratulated Nepal's newly-elected Prime Minister Sushila Karki, who has been appointed to lead an interim government following a week of violent anti-government protests in the Himalayan nation.

In a written message to Karki, the Dalai Lama said, "Nepalese and Tibetan people have historically enjoyed a close relationship. I am very grateful to the government and people of Nepal for providing facilities for the rehabilitation of Tibetan refugees following their escape from Tibet after 1959."

The Dalai Lama said, "Although the Tibetan community is relatively small, I believe it has been making a notable contribution towards Nepal's economic growth.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
