Taklha said the Dalai Lama’s condition is stable and there is nothing to worry about.
The spiritual leader, who had returned to Dharamshala on Monday after meeting with youth global leaders in New Delhi on 7 April was brought to Delhi after he complained of discomfort.
The Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
After a rebellion against the Chinese rule in 1959, the spiritual leader had exiled himself in India and has since been living mostly in Himachal Pradesh’s Dharamshala.
The Nobel laureate’s supporters operate a government-in-exile and promote Tibet’s autonomy by peaceful means.
