The Tibetan government-in-exile has reportedly cancelled two main events in Delhi marking 60 years in exile of Dalai Lama, one of which was to say 바카라Thank You India바카라, after the Centre forbid who바카라s who in the governments and the ruling party from sharing stage with the spiritual leader to not upset China.

The events to be attended by Dalai Lama, whom the China calls a splittist and a dangerous separatist, have now been scaled down and moved comfortably away from the political capital of India to Dharamshala, some 500 km away. 

The Indian Express had earlier  that the government had said it is a very sensitive time for Indo-China diplomatic relations and asked its officials to avoid attending events the Tibetan government in exile plans in India. Foreign secretary Vijay Gokhale sent a letter dated February 22 to cabinet secretary PK Sinha regarding this, and four days later, Sinha issued the directive to all government functionaries, The Indian Express report added.

 바카라The proposed period will be a very sensitive time in the context of India바카라s relations with China. Participation by senior leaders or government functionaries, either from the Central Government or State Governments, is not desirable, and should be discouraged,바카라 Gokhale wrote to the Cabinet Secretary.

 Sonam Dagpo, spokesperson for the Central Tibetan Administration, told the paper, 바카라India is host to Tibetan refugees. We respect the Indian government바카라s decision. We have no further comments. He said there had been no communication from the Indian government to the Tibetan administration on this issue.바카라

 The move many believe is India바카라s attempt to preen China바카라s feathers that were ruffled by  Dalai Lama바카라s visit to Arunachal Pradesh last year.

The government has picked sentiments of 바카라outrage, hurt and anger바카라 following the cabinet secretary바카라s note, Hindustan Times.

Ngodup Dhongchung, representative of the Dalai Lama in Delhi, told HT 바카라Some people may be disappointed. But we are guests of India. Indian people have been very generous to us. We understand the compulsions.바카라 But privately, three senior Tibetan figures said that there is a sense of hurt in the community.

The government has picked this sentiment. Tibetan activists have conveyed to authorities that this was a sign of 바카라personal humiliation바카라 for the Dalai Lama.
