'Spoiled brat': Rijiju's veiled attack at Rahul over 'vote chori' charge; shares CSDS apology
Saturday, 23 August 2025 () Union Minister Kiren Rijiju criticized Rahul Gandhi's "vote chori" charge, referencing a CSDS psephologist's apology for a data mishap. Rijiju questioned Gandhi's credibility, accusing him of public lies and demanding an apology. Gandhi escalated his accusations against the BJP, alleging vote theft and accusing the Election Commission of complicity in undermining citizens' voting rights during a rally in Bhagalpur.
Rahul Gandhi launched one of his fiercest attacks yet on the Modi government, accusing it of everything from “vote chori” (vote theft) to fostering a dictatorial regime. Gandhi also targeted the controversy surrounding Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, alleging his unexplained absence during a...
As the Dalai Lama turns 90, he declares his successor will not be born in China—defying Beijing’s succession claims. China, which once called Tibetan Buddhism “poison,” insists it will approve any reincarnation. India backs the Tibetan leader, with PM Modi and Minister Kiren Rijiju supporting religious autonomy. The threat of two Dalai Lamas—one genuine, one Chinese-appointed—echoes the Panchen Lama crisis. With global attention rising, the future of Tibetan Buddhism hinges on protecting its sacred, sovereign traditions.

India has made its position unequivocally clear on the contentious issue of the 14th Dalai Lama's succession, pushing back firmly against China's aggressive claims. In a significant statement, India stressed that the right to choose the next Dalai Lama rests solely with the current Dalai Lama himself and the established traditions. This comes as a direct response to China's Foreign Ministry, which has repeatedly insisted that the selection process must conform to "Chinese laws and historical practice."
The Dalai Lama has consistently rejected Beijing's interference. He has designated the Gaden Phodrang Trust, his formal office, as the ultimate authority in identifying and confirming his successor. Indian Union Minister Kiren Rijiju echoed this sentiment, stating that the succession must honor the age-old traditions and the personal wishes of the Dalai Lama. This high-stakes diplomatic standoff has reignited fears among Tibetans in exile, who have long warned that China may attempt to install a "fake" Dalai Lama to solidify its control over Tibet and undermine the Tibetan freedom movement.
Living in exile in India since fleeing Chinese repression in 1959, the Dalai Lama remains a global icon of peace, despite Beijing's relentless campaign to label him a separatist. As early as 2011, he cautioned the world that Beijing would likely try to manipulate his reincarnation for political gain. With India now taking a public and resolute stand, the future of one of the world's most revered spiritual leaderships hangs in the balance.
