Who is the king of Bhutan?
New Delhi, March 08: On December 14 last year, it was announced that the King Jigme Singye Wangchuk abdicated throne and his son crown prince Jigme Khesar Wangchuk is now on the new king of Bhutan.
However, after the signing of the Bhutan-India treaty, the question has risen, who is the king of Bhutan at this time.
King Jigme Singye had announced he abdicated the throne. Jigme Khesar has signed the Bhutan-India treat in the capacity of Crown Prince.
As crown prince, he does not hold the authority of head of state and head of the government. It is questionable if none of these persons have authority to sign a major bilateral treaty that guides the country's future course.
