I never saw Dalai lama as our guest, he is our own citizen and it's our honour to have him🙏

Your Holiness, We are Hindus and we consider you as much a spiritual
leader as our Shankaracharyas, Vaishnava Acharyas, Sikh, Jain Gurus.We
cherish your presence among us and never consider yourself a Refugee, you
are our honoured Guest.We the Hindus have never had problems with
Parsis, Bahais, Jews but only with manipulative Christian Missionaries
and Jihadi Muslims.With Freedom loving Christians or Muslims, we do not
have a problem.
