00:00See, I have nothing to make a comment or react on the statement made by the Chinese government.
00:10Dalai Lama institution is purely religious and I have come here as a devotee and it is a religious matter.
00:20And the government of India believes that there should be no interference into the religious matter,
00:28not only of the Dalai Lama institution or Buddhism, for all the religious institutions,
00:35they should be free from politics.
00:38So I have nothing to comment on the Chinese position.
00:43But on my own, I would like to wish His Holiness Dalai Lama a long life
00:49and continue to bless all of us, all his followers.
00:53His Holiness is the most loved personality and all his devotees desire to see him long life as well as healthy
01:08so that the global community can benefit from his wisdom.
01:13And the government of India will never interfere into religious matters,
01:23whether it is the Dalai Lama institution or any other religious institutions.
01:29And you believe that China should not interfere in such matters?
01:32I don't want to react because I am holding a senior minister position in the government of India.
01:40I don't want to react on the Chinese statement.
01:44But my position is very clear that we leave everything to His Holiness Dalai Lama for his guidance.
