Twitter is currently expressing disgust after the video of the Dalai Lama kissing a boy went viral on the internet. Yes, shocking right? The video has resulted in a severe backlash for the religious leader. Dalai Lama recently issued an apology for the whole incident but clearly, Twitter is not really happy with it. The reactions to his apology are more severe and blunt, and people are also calling him a “Pedophile” for the act!
In the video doing rounds of the internet, Dalai Lama can be seen kissing a young boy who quite evidently looks uncomfortable doing that. But that was not it, the religious leader also asked the boy to “Suck” his tongue. The video came down as a shock for everyone since Dalai Lama is a respected personality and also a Nobel Prize winner.
After the video was circulated on social media, the leader received severe criticism. On behalf of the Dalai Lama, a public apology was posted on his Twitter handle, in which the leader was referred to as “His Holiness”.The note expressed his regret about the whole incident and called it a “Playful” gesture by the leader.

However, Twitter users do not feel that a simple apology is enough for the disgusting act. The users were more annoyed by the leader referring to the whole act as merely being playful. Many people also called a “Pedophile” after the video went viral. The users called it unacceptable behaviour and also criticised the leader for being referred to as “His Holiness”. They also called him out for not addressing the “Suck my tongue” part in his apology, and conveniently ignoring that even happened. Here are some of the Twitter reactions to it.
Twitter users are clearly not happy with the apology!
The video will make anyone feel angry and disgusted. In fact, many people also demanded strict action against the abusive gesture by the religious leader. It is more unfortunate that this was termed as a playful gesture in the apology note, because in no way did it feel the same to others!
