DHARAMSHALA: President Dr Lobsang Sangay of the Central Tibetan Administration extended his warm wishes on the 87th birthday of Shri George Fernandes, former defense minister of India and a long time friend of the Tibetan people.
“On your 87th birthday, I send warmest good wishes to one of the most courageous, industrious and adamant supporter of justice. On behalf of my colleagues in the Kashag and Tibetans in and outside Tibet, I wish you all of life’s blessings and positive karma,” President Dr Lobsang Sangay said.
“I admire the fact that nothing has discouraged you from your philosophy and agendas or from what you thought was right. You have never shied away from crisis and faced them boldly. We are all fortunate in the extreme to be inspired and learn from you.”
“When I was a youth leader in Delhi University and beyond, whenever I came knocking at your door for support, big or small, you were always there when Tibet had few friends. Your steadfast contribution will be etched in the memory of Tibetans and history of Tibet,” he said.
