His Holiness the Dalai Lama speaking with members of the 15th Kashag, 5 May 2018.

Upon completion of the second year in office, members of the 15th Kashag led by President Dr Lobsang Sangay received an audience with His Holiness the Dalai Lama on 4 May 2018. During the audience, His Holiness the Dalai Lama offered guidance and advice to the Kashag.

However, a fake version of the advice with an image of the audience is being circulated on Facebook and other social media pages with intent to disrupt the public. In light of this, the department of security urges the general public to be wary of such false rumours and not be misled.

The original news regarding the audience is available on Tibet.net, the official website of the Central Tibetan Administration.
