Nepalese MPs object third country settlement

Kathmandu, July 24: Members of the Nepal’s House of Representatives raised serious concerns over the government's "reported" consent to resettle exiled Bhutanese in third country.
 
Speaking during the special hour of the House session on Sunday, Nepali Congress MP Shiva Kumar Basnet said it was against the interest of the Bhutanese people and injustice to them if the government agrees for third country resettlement without consulting Bhutanese themselves.

"The government's agreement to resettle the refugees in third country means direct support to Bhutan's royal regime," Basnet was quoted by the Nepalese newspapers as saying.
 
Another NC member Dilli Raj Sharma said it will be against Bhutan's democratic movement to agree to resettle Bhutanese in a third country. Bhutan News Service
