The Tibetan Buddhist leader was speaking to the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee in Strasbourg.
He also criticised Myanmar’sState Counsellor and Foreign Minister Aung San Suu Kyi for not speaking up against the atrocities committed against the Rohingya. "She remained quiet for a while, as Nobel Laureate she should speak against injustice," the report quoted him as saying.
