The justice has begun to take effect. At some point in time, this rule will apprehend those accusers of innocent Bhutanese that took a communal stand and accused the others as:
ILLEGAL SETTLERS,
ILLEGAL ECONOMIC IMMIGRANTS,
ANTI-NATIONALS,
NGOLOPS, TERRORISTS,
PEOPLE WHOSE PRESENCE IS A THREAT TO NATION’S SOVEREIGNTY AND SECURITY… many other crimes begun nationwide thereafter by using this defamatory mantra… Who first taught to defame?
