Prime Minister Jigmi Y Thinley has arrived Nepal on Thursday following his three-day official trip.
Spokesperson of the Government of Nepal, Gangalal Tuladhar, welcomed and received at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) this afternoon, press advisor to Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal informed.
According to advisor Surya Thapa, PM Thinley is scheduled to call on Nepali President Dr Ram Baran Yadhav, his counterpart and the officials at the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) in Kathmandu.
According to media reports, he is also holding discussion on the Bhutanese refugee issue with the GoN.
However, PM Thinely did not speak to reporters at the TIA upon his arrival.
PM Thinely arrived in Nepal as chairperson of the SAARC completing his visits to other member countries including Maldives and Pakistan.
Meanwhile, the Bhutan Peoples’ Party (BPP) said PM Thinely has crucial role in forcefully expelling over 100,000 thousand citizens from Bhutan.
Issuing a press statement today, BBP President Balaram Paudyal also expressed that bilateral talk between Nepal and Bhutan would yield no result, saying repeated failures of fifteen rounds of talks were proved fruitless.
“India, which has been a silent observer of this issue, has a lead role in resolving the long standing refugee statemate,” said Paudyal in his statement.
Balaram Paudyal, however, forgot to mention in his statement about how his party threatened innocent people of decapitation if people don’t leave the country to support his party activity. Issuing fulminating statement against every initiative of Bhutanese government have become a cheap shot for these refugee leaders.
It may be important here to recall the incident of 2002 when a group of refugees attacked the Bhutanese officials who were in Kudunabari refugee camp to announce the findings of joint verification conducted by the government of Nepal and Bhutan. Had there not been the vested interest of the so-called refugee leaders who instigated to attack the verification officials, a tangible solution to the problem would have been reached. Unfortunately, the innocents always becomes the victim of situation.
Peace out!
Hey Lotusflower,
please be clear that the the December 2001 Incident was not manipulated by any of the political group. It was the Bhutanese team who infurated the innocent lots and just imagin what happens when you loose your cool! The same effect was in the case. I suggest you not to be driven away what the officials said in Thimphu but try to make research What the officers did in the camp. It was a irony that such a high level officials could come down and create such a unethical confusion!!!!!!!! This is the state of affairs with the Bhutanese officials.
Kencho sum bless them!!!!!!!!!!
Lotus flower, in ref. to your first statement I have no basis to argue with you meaning that you are not wrong from my point of view.
Your second statement needs a deeper research. The so-called officials of JVT present that time were treated less than they actually deserved. You should listen to the humiliation they pounded on the refugees at a time when they had high expectations from their own govt. Then perhaps, it makes some sense to make a judgement. I would say, they were in fact lucky to have been insulting the Bhutanese refugees. Had it been to other groups, they would have been battered to death.
The Lotus flower as it grows in the dirty water,the impersonate lotus flower mind in the forum is defiled always with dirty mind. I see his comments in this forum always viotrolic and inimical.Such ignoble persons are the main spoiler of the movement. All his comments are adverse to the Bhutanese movement and prop to Bhutan government the culprit and incentive to all its wicket actions. The Lotus, supposed to be pure on which even Brahma the creator sits is beig unanctified by negative thinking of the Lotus flower being nourished by dirty elements. He is misleading people with wrong information. One fact here that he has given 2002 the incident of Khudunabari is incorrect . It was December 2003. The irrate refugees just attacked and luckily not lynched which in fact they deserved to come with such unacceptable conditions to who were made victims by such illogical, unlawful and unjust rules by some of the same officers present to evict. I doubt the same hypocrate Lotus flower would have been the first to throw stone at those Bhutanese officials to incite people spontaneously and now acting innocent. Is this man really an Bhutanese of Nepali speaking? Who forgot his mother being raped, father being bludgeon and sister being kept in the army camp as comfort girl? Such blackship deserves no place in our society. We must kick him out.
I neither support Thinley nor Balaram as both of them had active role in mass eviction. The only difference between these two is: the former was a government agent who was and is actively involved in ethnic cleansing program where as the latter was struggling for democracy and human rights in Bhutan . However, Leader Like Balaram and his party too insisted refugee to leave their land in support of their mass movement which in fact was immatured and unplanned.As a result, feeling eviction as a partial success, Government has come up with another philosopy of GNH;
which means the happiness of people of Tibetan Origin as Lhotsampas land has been distributed to to Tibetan origin Bhutanese to make them feel happy.
Dear readers, in fact, some of you have have pointed out the facts.Yes,PM Thinley and Balaram Poudyel were the partners in1990s to evict southern Bhutanese from their homes.Thinley’s team from with in the country diverted RGOB’s whole mechanism to up root the people, and from the other side of the boarder, Balaram’s team did the same thing to finish the people though his team’s result was not as far reaching as of Thinley’s team.This was the game played by these leaders in late 80s and early 90s.All the refugees from Bhutan are innocent but victimized by these Vultures.I did nothing But became the victim of both the sides.
But if the Bhutan govt. and the political parties can correct their wrong doings against the humanity at the earliest possible,they will be pardoned.If not corrected,then there is possibility of unimaginable and unforgettable events taking place in side Bhutan in near future.The destruction and lost caused by these events will be beyond the scope of repair and recovery.It is already under preliminary preparation in Thimphu,Trashigang and in one of the southern districts where I am at present.Good luck.
Its actually a wonder why the genuine attention of the world powers is not coming to the stale Bhutanese socio-economic turned political problem. All the military, diplomatic set-up is fast in action in oil rich middleast and Arab nations, but the tiny Himalayan nation that claims to have a high GNH and a Shangrilla yet has one of the world’s largest propotion of population turned stateless for 2 decades goes largely unquestioned. All the people of this tiny nation should reconcile and bring peace but those perpetrators of the crime of 1990s should be brought to an independent judiciary if at all we respect human lives. When Bhutanese see changes in Egypt, Libya and the asbsolute govts of the middle east, they also like to have a say in fast changing world as world citizens.
Anyway, hail to the Bhutanese Prime Minister for his initiatives to repatriate the Bhutanese with honour and dignity. The govt of Bhutan must understand the gravity of this issue if it is kept unresolved for a long time.
Please be clear here that there are people like lotus flower who still are puppets of some lunatic rulers like JYT who makes seasonal visit preaching GNH all over the world and practice just what even animals don’t deserve.
he must learn lesson from the world…….
King Gyanendra of nepal have to crumble ,Hossini Mubbarrak had gone,Gadaffi is at the verge of collapse……….are but few recent examples.Dictators are born,ruled and humilated the ordinary people under ethinic cleansing/homicide/geonocide and more cides……
and when people came against them as a single force these people lost their face from the map of the world and
Be sure Bhutan is no exception to this phenomenon………
People can feel the pressure of the brute forces but upto certain limit.
Awake,Arise my countrymen (BHUTANESE)to wipe out the evil forces..JSW,JKW,JYT and more and save the soverign identity of Bhutan.
I wonder why people like LOTUSFLOWER (seems very patriotic at least in making comments against the refugees) keep hibernating when China has taken a chunk of bhutanese land (refer map of bhutan pre 90s and post 90s and compare), Government selling Soverinity in the name of AID to the Indians (in the name of development…Refer Kuensel News Power Secretary briefing 2010…Country at the verge implementing LOADSHEDING).
LotusFlower failed to see what is the reality inside Bhutan…Just one example is sufficient to validate..
When there are scores of Major hydro power projects in Bhutan (including those proposed and under construction) Why are the villages in the “LAND OF HAPPINESS” still reeling under dark and use old fashioned traditional lamps??????
Where are the energy generated from such mega projects gone?? Just BArtered with salt from India.
How could a worthy fellowcountrymen like lotus flower gone here?? Because LOTUSFLOWER has never seen villages and he has nothing to bother on the pathetic state of the country.
BECAUSE HE IS PAID BY HIS BIG BROTHERS FOR MAKING ANTIREFUGEE COMMENTS ON this website..
Please understand that I dont worship leaders like Balaram. I strongly condemn people of his stature for their brutality in 90s against the ordinary people who have to be in the state of stateleness for decades. What fault was done by ordinary people to the party/government and have to be a refugee?????????
We are not going to leave them sooner or latter.
A time is definetly in the offing for their booking!
After having read the comments on Bala ram and Thinley, I found YOu weighing (Bal) ram and (Thin) ley in a common weighig balance which seems ridiculous. Thin ley is the immediate cause of our present situation and Bala ram is victim in the same situation. So, it is better to differentiate this.
I don’t like the idea of involving third party (India) to resolve the refugee crisis with the following points. India is not going to support refugee side and she will always give the upper hand or soft corner to the government of Bhutan. If Bhutan is demanding for the presence of India’s observance, then it can be to certain extended considerable but refugee side shouldn’t demand the involvement of India in specific. It is just making the opponent stronger.
The ideal situation is to resolve between government of Bhutan and its people. Second options would be again between people and government with the involvement of UN bodies as mediator and to the extreme, Nepal as just the role of facilitator. I think India shouldn’t be given upper hand for making the decisions as such decisions would be against the refugee side.
Now let us assume that government of Bhutan wanted to resolve the Bhutanese refugee issues and she asks for talks. Are the refugee leaders prepared for discussions? Who will represent, Dasho Rizal, BR Poudyal or Bikalpa? What will be their presentations? How good are these people in negotiating and taking the decisions? Will their decisions indisputable to all of us? What could be the minimum bottom line? Let’s present little seriously.
What is our demand? Are we trying to find some spaces within the existing constitution or demanding for changing it? If the demand is to change, is that possible? If we are trying within the existing one, is there any room for us?
I think this is where point lies and let the refugee side be clear of what they are doing.
Birodi,
In impossing your communist beliefs you forgot to accept that there are also highly revered monarchs in the world, namely the queen of England, Emperor of japan, King of Thailand, king of Norway, king of the Netherlands, Spain to name a few.
“It may be important here to recall the incident of 2002 when a group of refugees attacked the Bhutanese officials who were in Kudunabari refugee camp to announce the findings of joint verification conducted by the government of Nepal and Bhutan. Had there not been the vested interest of the so-called refugee leaders who instigated to attack the verification officials, a tangible solution to the problem would have been reached. Unfortunately, the innocents always becomes the victim of situation”..Lotus Flower’s statement is very much true. And hope this time it will not happen the same situation when the PM JYT holds talk with the Nepal Govt. on the refugee issue. Be wiser enough..if you are the refuge victim of true Bhutanese citizens who have been evicted in the nineties… You have a huge chances of being repatriated through peaceful dialogue and fruitful resolutions..Remember PM JYT is not a cheap ordinary layman who will frequent Nepal time and again for resolving refuge issues..Consider his visit this time as your greatest blessings as you may place high hope and expectations for your repatriation…Keep your fingers crossed….God Bless You.
@@@@@@@@ LOTUS FLOWER
Make sure there is a big difference between the Queen of England,Emperor of Japan and so on . They are highly respected within and out side their country.
But JSW?JGW are world famous dictators who suck their citizens bloood. They enjoy their feast when they can tourure one . They are even worse than the medivial kings of france.
THIS IS NOT COMMUNISIM AS U SAID……I believe in one and only ism and that is HUMANISM.
Even Gautam Buddha would have not forgiven the crimes of these Bhutanese rulers hed he been still on earth and definetly they deserve the place in hell as their KARMA was bad.
