“I would like to reiterate India’s position on His Holiness Dalai Lama. He is a revered religious leader and is deeply respected by the people of India. His Holiness is accorded due courtesies and freedom to conduct his religious and spiritual activities,” said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal at a media briefing on Friday when asked about India’s stance on the succession of the Dalai Lama.
