Bihar poll results show people prefer harmony: Dalai Lama
New Delhi, Nov 15 (IBNS): Amid concern over rising 'intolerance' in India, Nobel Laureate Dalai Lama has said the Bihar election results had shown that people in a Hindu majority state preferred harmony.
He said the incidents of intolerance in India are “occasional acts by a few mischievous people.”
Lama made these comments while addressing the annual convocation at Lovely Professional University (LPU).
He said, "There may be some mischievous individuals. Some party politics or other interests can be the reason behind unethical happenings. But it should not be taken as the real picture. If I may say so, the Bihar results have shown that a majority of Hindu people still believe in harmony.”
Lama also condemned the string of terrorist attacks in French capital city Paris, which left about 129 people dead.
