In order to express support for the Tibetan issue, an all -party forum has written a letter to the Central Government urging the Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama to honor India’s highest civilian honor Bharat Ratna. The forum has also appealed to the government to allow the Dalai Lama to address the joint session of Parliament, this step can cause China’s anger. According to the Economic Times, the letter was sent by the all -party Indian parliamentary platform for Tibet, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and Janata Dal (United) MPs. The forum presented this request to the government after unanimously passed the resolution in support of the proposal during its second meeting this month.
