Dharamshala: His Holiness the Dalai Lama has written to Omar Abdullah to congratulate him on his coalition’s success in the recent Legislative Assembly elections and his appointment as Chief Minister of the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir.
“As I have mentioned before,” he wrote, “I have had the privilege of knowing three generations of your family from the days of Sheikh Abdullah to you. I treasure our friendship.
“I wish you every success in meeting whatever challenges may lie ahead and the opportunities arise to fulfil the hopes and aspirations of the people of Jammu & Kashmir.”
