Tibetan leaders HH the Dalai Lama and the elected President Dr Lobsang Sangay offered condolences over the demise of India’s three-time Prime Minister, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee aged 93. “I feel privileged to have known him and am honoured to have counted him as a friend” wrote His Holiness. “He was one of the giants in Indian politics and also one of the strongest voices for Tibet,” said Sangay.
