We are writing to express our disappointment and concern regarding this fake news that was aired on your network featuring His Holiness the Great 14th Dalai Lama. The video in question, which shows the Dalai Lama interacting with a small boy, appears to have been edited with malicious intentions and was fabricated in a way that could be seen as disrespectful and offensive to many.

His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, is known for his compassion and humorous nature. He has been traveling the world to spread his message of peace, non-violence and compassionate responsibility to all sentient beings. He is the epitome of a selfless individual.

For non-Tibetans, we strongly advise having an understanding with the Tibetan community who are upset that the edited clip of the video is being construed as anything other than His Holiness displaying affection, warmth, and humour towards the child. Your channel has misinterpreted a playful moment between the Dalai Lama and the young Indian boy. Therefore, we strongly urge you to issue a public apology for airing this video and to take steps to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to read our email. We hope that you will take swift action to address this matter and to restore the trust of your viewers.
