Mumbai, March 27 (IANS) Tibetan organisations in India have appealed to Bollywood actor Aamir Khan to refrain from participating in the Olympic torch relay that will be held in New Delhi April 17.

Among the prominent personalities likely to join the run are actress Soha Ali Khan, sport star Leander Paes and former policewoman Kiran Bedi.
