Tibetan Prime Minister-in-exile Dr Lobsang Sangay today told NDTV that the minister of state for home Kiren Rijiju meeting the Dalai Lama in Arunachal Pradesh is to 'seek his blessings', not as a political signal to China. However , Dr Sangay added that recent events like President Pranab Mukherjee meeting the spiritual leader at Rashtrapati Bhavan and this high-profile visit indicate the Narendra Modi government has now moved to an 'open door policy' regarding their interactions with the Dalai Lama despite Chinese disapproval unlike earlier.
