Dalai Lama Under Threat: Australian Citizen Of Tibetan Origin Calls For Spiritual Leader’s Assassination
The Dalai Lama is under threat from an Australian citizen of Tibetan origin named Singe.
Singe has issued threats on social media, specifically Facebook, calling for the assassination of the Dalai Lama, comparing the act to the assassination of Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi. These threats, translated from Tibetan, are considered serious and incite violence. Following these threats, the Dalai Lama’s security has been upgraded to Z plus.
Singe is now subject to prohibition orders under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), and CNN-News18 has accessed the order against him. The district administration has cited various violations by Singe, including waging war against India and acts causing public nuisance and community disturbance. Singe has booked under various sections of the BNS.
Top intelligence sources reveal that the government considers this threat with utmost seriousness due to its international implications. There is concern that harm to the Dalai Lama would not only devastate the Tibetan community but also severely damage India’s global reputation. This incident follows a pattern of China allegedly using individuals of Tibetan origin to sow discord within the exile community, sources said.
There are fears that Singe’s threats could incite large-scale protests and confrontations in India, reflecting the deep anxiety within the Tibetan community.
