Refugees



The Bhutani government has been under heavy pressure especially after the refugee issue was raised at the UN in Geneva by Foreign Minister Bhekh Bahadur Thapa. It is now busy plotting a fabrication of events to deviate the attention of the international community. It has been spreading rumors that the Nepali Maoists are planning to attack the royal palace of Bhutan. This government has also been trying to wreck the relationship between Nepal and India by falsely claiming that the Indian outlawed Bodo and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militants had entered Nepal and are working together with the Maoists to plan the palace attack. Home Minister Pendon Wangchuk has even discussed this issue already with India's Anil Baljit. This only goes on to prove that the Bhutani government officials are doing everything to prove that they are untouchable as long as they remain under the shadow of a powerful nation.

There is clear evidence to prove that the Bhutani government is not serious about solving the refugee crisis. Last Friday, when Thapa met UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Ruud Lubbers, Bhutan was suddenly seen in negative light, that is why Thimphu is in crisis-control mode.
