Bhutan Prime Minister visits Nepal

KATHMANDU, April 14, 2011

The Bhutan People’s Party in exile in Nepal has urged the government of Nepal and Bhutan to come to an understanding on repatriating the willing Bhutanese Refugees back to Bhutan respectfully.

 

In a statement issued on the day Bhutani Prime Minsiter Lyonchhen Jigmi Y Thinley arrived Kathmandu on a three-day visit on Thursday, the Bhutan People’s Party said that the government of Bhutan that practiced ethnic cleansing cannot be regarded as democratic.

 

“The dictatorial regime of the Bhutan has deprived 20 percent of the Bhutan’s people from their basic rights as they were driven out of the country forcefully,” said Bala Ram Poudel, Chairman of the Party.
