In a joint press release issued by Bhutan People’s Part (BPP),Bhutanese Refugee Representative Repatriation Committee(BRRRC), Druk National Congress (Democratic) and Bhutan Gorkha Natipnal Liberation Front(BGNF) signed by the head and officiating head of these organizations on 13th June 2012, it is announced that Bhutanese Movement Steering Committee has been dissolved henceforth.
The press release states the failure of Chairman Tek Nath Rizal to conduct appropriately for the advancement of BMSC program as the chief reason to dissolve it.
The press release reads, ‘the BMSC deliberately failed to discharge its responsibility, thereby failing in the duties of chairman as the highest responsible portfolio of Bhutanese movement.’
The joint press release also states the single-mindedness attitude, non-transparent financial gains and misuse of BMSC portfolio to have such gains by the chairman. He is alleged of not consulting matters with the committee members and thus many of them have diverged with disappointment.
However, Rizal has taken the action of dissolution to be an attempt to denigrate his image. He comments, “In fact, BMSC has turned out to be less meaningful when majority of the refugees and the leaders opted to resettle. But this will not lessen my commitment for the cause of human rights and democracy in Bhutan.”
Similarly, BRRRC chairman, Dr.Bhampa Rai alleged the signature of his done without his physical presence in the joint sitting.
