New Delhi: Union minister Kiren Rijiju left for Mongolia for an 11-day exposition of four holy Relics of Lord Buddha from India. The Relics will be displayed as part of celebrations of the Mongolian Buddh Purnima on Tuesday, a move that the government has said will “give a message of peace to the world”.
A video tweeted by Kiren Rijiju’s Office late on Sunday showed the minister boarding an Indian Air Force plane from the Hindon Airbase in Ghaziabad, accompanied by a 25-member delegation.

The Relics are being taken in the same climate control case as has been kept presently at the National Museum. They will be received by the culture minister of Mongolia among other dignitaries.
The exposition of relics was permitted by the government following a request by the Mongolian government, a government release said.
