Pak journalist compares Dalai Lama with Masood Azhar, gets slammed on Twitter
Dalai Lama's name was trending on Twitter, where the journalist was severely criticised for his views.
New Delhi: A tweet by a senior Pakistani journalist in which he compared the Tibetan leader Dalai Lama with terrorist Masood Azhar has triggered a storm on Twitter. The users have been slamming the journalist for his remark.
Referring to China blocking India and other nations bid to list Masood as a global terrorist, the journalist retweeted a decade old news article whose headline described the Tibetan leader as a "terrorist".
"It's very easy to understand why China blocked resolution against Masood Azhar in UNSC? India sheltering an enemy of China since decades and his name is Dalai Lama," Hamid Mir tweeted.
After the 1959 Tibetan uprising against Chinese rule, the Dalai Lama fled his country and took refuge in India. He has lived here ever since.

They can claim to be sovereign and true, but they can't hide from their paymasters.

China, for the fourth time, blocked an initiative to tag Jaish-e Mohammad chief Masood Azhar as a "global terrorist" by the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday.
