He said the spiritual guru was discharged in the evening after tests. “He is now fine… no need to worry,” he said.
The Dalai Lama will start his Europe visit Feb 8.
The Dalai Lama, 73, was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi Oct 9, 2008, where he underwent a gall bladder surgery. He left the hospital Oct 16.
