‘India Should Stop…’: China Lodges Formal Protest Over PM Modi’s Birthday Greeting To Dalai Lama

China lodged a formal protest after Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended birthday wishes to the Dalai Lama on his 90th birthday, calling it interference in its internal affairs. Beijing criticised the participation of Indian ministers at the celebrations in Dharamshala, labelling the Dalai Lama a separatist. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning urged India to avoid actions on “Xizang-related issues.” PM Modi, attending the BRICS Summit, praised the Dalai Lama as a global symbol of compassion. The event drew wide international support, including from Indian officials and Hollywood actor Richard Gere, reinforcing solidarity with the Tibetan spiritual leader.#dalailama #india #tibet #china #tibetissue #dalailama90 #modidalailama #dalailamasuccession #xizang #indiachinarelations #toi #toibharat
