The Lobsang Choedak, Press Officer of Tibetan Government in Exile said in Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh that the Dalai Lama's representative in New Delhi has also tried to seek an appointment with the Myanmar embassy to convey his views about this serious human rights' problem, pti reported.

It is not the first time that the Dalai Lama has expressed concern over Muslims situation. He had also appealed the Sri Lankan authorities to find a peaceful solution during the conflict between the Sinhalese and Tamils in Sri Lanka.

According to media reports, the latest violence between ethnic Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims, which began October 21, killed at least 84 people and injured 129 more, according to the government.

Human rights groups believe the true toll could be far higher.

Myanmar's government has said it has boosted security in a western state hit by ethnic and sectarian unrest as the number of displaced rose to 28,000 people, mostly Muslims.

The government of Myanmar refuses to recognize Rohingyas as citizens and holds the opinion that the only solution to the crisis is to send the one-million-strong community to other countries willing to take them.

Rohingyas are said to be Muslim descendants of Persian, Turkish, Bengali, and Parthan origin, who migrated to Myanmar as early as the 8th century.
