Head of the Tibetan Government- in exile Lobsang Sangay on Wednesday said former external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj had suggested that he drink hot water daily as a remedy to improve his voice.
Speaking at an event here, Sangay paid tributes to the veteran leader of the ruling BJP who breathed her last at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi on Tuesday night following a cardiac arrest.
“During a meeting, she gave me a long advice on how to be a leader. I asked how come she had such a loud and clear voice. She told me (that) every evening, I must drink hot water with ginger and honey and the next morning I shall have such a sweet, loud and powerful voice,” Sangay said.
“It is sad to know that she has passed away. As you can clearly see, she had friends across all the (political) parties,” he said.
The Tibetan Government-in-exile is ready for talks with China “anytime and anywhere” over the issue of autonomy for the Tibetan region, Sangay said. He also appealed the Indian Government to treat Tibet as a core issue, considering the historical, environmental and geopolitical significance of the region.
India has done for Tibetans what no other country has, he said.
