Union minister Kiren Rijiju and Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Pema Khandu attended the birthday celebrations of the 14th Dalai Lama in Himachal Pradesh's Dharamshala. The Dalai Lama revealed his 'succession plan,' leading to a response from China. The Dalai Lama's birthday is officially observed on July 6.
China suggested India handle Tibet-related issues cautiously, as it could impact bilateral relations. Rijiju's visit to meet the spiritual leader followed his statement that the Dalai Lama's 'reincarnation' should be based on his wishes. India clarified it had no position on the selection process for the next Dalai Lama.
The Dalai Lama announced that his successor would be chosen by the India-based Gaden Phodrang Trust, not by any other authority, in a move seen as a message to China.
