Video of Dalai Lama asking minor boy to 'suck his tongue' sparks row
Apr 10, 2023 12:07 IST
The Dalai Lama found himself at the centre of a controversy after a video showed the Tibetan spiritual leader kissing a minor boy on his lips and then asking him to ‘suck his tongue’. The video, which has gone viral on social media platforms, has evoked a furious response from the netizens.
The video shows the Dalai Lama kissing the child on his lips as the latter leaned in to pay his respects. After a few second, the Tibetan spiritual leader can be seen pointing to his mouth and sticking his tongue out. "Can you suck my tongue," the Dalai Lama can be heard asking the minor boy in the video.
The video has triggered a row, with netizens calling the spiritual leader’s behaviour “disgusting” and "creepy".
“Utterly shocked to see this display by the Dalai Lama. In the past, too, he’s had to apologize for his sexist comments. But saying - 'Now suck my tongue' to a small boy is disgusting,” a netizen tweeted.

Gov. McMaster's office says 'hunt them with dogs' comment was 'joke.' SC Dems want apology.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/sc-democrats ... 48238.htmlThe Anderson County Democratic Party issued a statement Sunday, May 21, following Gov. Henry McMaster's comments during Saturday's South Carolina Republican Party Convention.
According to The State reporter Joseph Bustos, McMaster said: "I look forward to the day that democrats are so rare, we have to hunt them with dogs."

Chris Salley, chair of the Anderson County Democratic Party, said in a statement:
"Yesterday, Governor Henry McMaster threatened me, my family, and thousands of other Anderson County residents who are Democrats when he said he looks forward to the day he can "hunt us with dogs."
If the Governor is not willing to apologize and retract this racially-tinged dog whistle, Anderson County Democrats join the Charleston County Democratic Party in asking the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) to open an investigation into this threat and incitement of political violence.

Lauren Boebert's son called 911 in tears to report his father was 'throwing' him around the house.
They seem nice and normal...
https://news.yahoo.com/lauren-boeberts- ... 00128.htmlRep. Lauren Boebert's son called 911 in December to report that his father, Jayson Boebert, had gotten physical with him and was "throwing" him around the house and that he didn't know why.
Minutes after the call ended — while Garfield County Sheriff's Office deputies were on their way to their home — the teen called again to take the accusations back, with Lauren Boebert jumping on the phone to say her son "doesn't need help."
Jayson Boebert denied to the deputies — and to Insider — that he had gotten physical with the teen.
"The safety and well-being of my family are the most important things in the world to me," Lauren Boebert told Insider on Thursday. "We've had some tough times and heartache. I've taken action to ensure there are better days ahead for all of us."

Watch: Mexican mayor weds crocodile in harvest ritual
2 hours ago
A mayor of a small Mexican town has wed a crocodile bride in an age-old ritual for prosperity. He could be seen kissing the reptile, whose snout had been tied shut.
The seven-year-old crocodile, nicknamed 'little princess', is thought to represent a deity linked with mother earth. Her marriage to the local leader symbolises the joining of humans with the divine.
The tradition likely dates back centuries to Oaxaca state's Chontal and Huave indigenous communities. "It is the union of two cultures. The union of the Huaves and the Chontales," Mayor Victor Hugo Sosa told reporters.
