The Bhutan Peoples’ Party (BPP) has demanded dignified repatriation of exiled Bhutanese to their homeland, saying the third country resettlement cannot be considered a permanent solution of the long-standing refugee crisis.
In an appeal sent to Nepalese Foreign Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha on Monday, who earlier said the Government of Nepal was preparing to sit for a decisive talk with its Bhutanese counterpart, BPP even asked to bring India in the negotiation table to explore a permanent solution of the imbroglio.
“We have expected important support and solidarity from the Nepali government towards our issue,” said Party President Balaram Poudyal in his appeal letter.
The party also demanded formation of a permanent taskforce to handle the refugee issue in Nepal, and asked the government and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to settle pending cases of asylum seekers at the earliest possible.
Meanwhile, Poudyal also suggested the government to grant political asylum to political and human rights activists in Nepal unless doors for repatriation open.
KEEP SAYING THESE THINGS……THAN WHENEVER YOU GET CHANCE, GET RESETTLED IN AMERICA OR ELSEWHERE…………GOOD LUCK….
Dignified repartation or dignified resettlement ??? Many American’s company like gas station, chicken factory,subways are waiting the people like you. Its vague why this sorts of people are representing the people. Do the exile bhutanes elect him ?
Sahi ho Krismat Sharma.
Talking of “Dignified Repatriation” for all the exiled Bhutanese as permanent solution dignifies the personal stand of the BPP president Balaram Powdyel. Whether himself opts for TCR is a personal choice but the rest that do not want to be lost in the vast world should be taken back to their homesteads in Bhutan.
Before I start commenting, I would like to mention you all the following parties and leaders who were leading refugee repatriation:
1.BPP: President-Balaram Poudel, in Nepal
YOB(its sister organization, President: Ragen Giri, now in California, has pretty much good career!
2.BNDP, RB Basnet, President-Died, VP, Dr.DNS Dhakal, Visiting professor, he minds his own business; General Secretory, Hari Adhikari in California who receives SSI from welfare and barely provides his own support.
DYB(its sister organization), President, Mohan Tamang, now in California depends on welfare and unable to function independently.
BNSO(its other Banaras based sister organization), President, Laxmi Narayan Dhakal who is in Chicago, USA. He does not speak or write English.
3.DNC,President, Rongthong Kuenley Dorjee, who expired few months ago in India.
4.DNC, President, Thinley Penjore, who is just got into the USA and lives in Misouri.General Sec Narad Adhikari, he arrived in New Hampshire and is flash-backing GHRD’s 20,000 Dollars and welfare’s TANF benefits, interesting ha.
5. BGNLF, President, DB Rana Sampang, in Kakarbhitta, poor old man without formal education.
6. BGNL, President, Tara Bir Mukarung. He is one of the most illiterate self made leaders of Bhutanese political parties.
7 BCP, Most radical heads like PN Neopaney, and I actually dont remembers but those are working in refugee resettlement agencies and claim themselves as social workers.
8.Bhutan State Congress, President, Debi Bhakta Lamitarey, he lives in Haridwar, India, smokes marijuana and talks all bullshit.
Some human rights organizations:
HUROB, SB Subba, Damak Nepal. His wife is government employee of Bhutan. His kids got their education in Bombay and Bangalore, he made pretty good money out of refugees, still making, interesting ha.. I too like free and easy money..cool.
PHFR(B): DP kafley, Birtamode, Nepal and has strong ties with Balaram Poudel.
PHFRD: SK Pradhan, USA.
NFD was born and died with the conflict of interest.
BMSC was also formed but died.
others were BRRRC, blabla uncountable.
The above leaders have taken all their lives wrangling over the same issue knowingly or unknowingly. They were the one to create instability in Bhutan. They ignited government who evicted Lhotshampas loosing their homes and neighbourhood in which they had invested considerable proportion of their income, but they were dispossessed of their personal possessions. The human cost of forced evictions of Lhotshampas are substantial and involves a wide range of additional negative impacts on their livelihood, safety and security of their children. Lhotshampas were/are facing a situation of statelessness, physical, psychological and emotional trauma, insecurity of the future of their children, loss of livelihood, problem of educating their children, loss of faith in the legal and political system of the country, tensions, increased social criminalization and so on. People still have no right to freedom of expression and press, which are the basic pillars of a democratic society.
About 80% of the Bhutanese refugees have already resettled in the United States.Lots of success stories are spreading among the communities. There are no corrupted political and human rights leaders brokering the refugees and the individual refugees are seen exploring their potentials. 10 years from now, we will find our brothers and sisters graduated from Ivy League Colleges and Universities and help the country to serve professionally.
But the good point; the above leaders might have made some money out of refugees in the camps but again without their voices, small political stalemate wouldn’t have gained such a huge publicity for international community to divert their attention and help them to relocate into different parts of the world. Everyone is enjoying the freedom Balaram, common, you are still not stigmatized yet!
OOOOOOOOO PANDAY…YOU JUST REMIND ME SOME MUSHROOMS WHICH WHERE ALREADY DISPOSED…IN A RESTROOM….AFTER DIGESTION….THANX FOR THAT…SOME PEOPLE ARE SO PANIC.. YOU SEE COZ MORE THAN 80% OF REFUGEES ARE RESETTLING IN THIRD COUNTRIES…WHICH MAY AFFECT THE INCOME SOURCE OF SOME !!!!!
