Common consensus: Demand of the time (Exclusive)

Kathmandu, March 10: The escalating rise in ‘polarization’ in ideological stance for exiled Bhutanese issue has now become a normal subject. This rise has even resulted into intimidation in lives of some of the people, whose principles do not match to those of others.

Meanwhile, some independent youths are enthusiastic towards umpiring those clusters for common consensus.

An interaction program between at least two dozens potential exiled Bhutanese youths at Baisdhara Park, Kathmandu on Saturday, is one of the latest instances that they have initiated to bar ongoing ideological differences, especially between Bhutanese Maoists and those running behind third country resettlement.

The concept of acting as mediators is learnt to have been coined by Hemant Lama and Chandra Chhetri. Lama talking to BNS said that they would soon work in a formal way through a platform if they obtain affirmative responses ahead. Indeed, the Saturday gathering was a means to further inspiration as majority of the participants lauded their concept.

At present days, Bhutanese Maoists are accused of forcing innocent people for extending financial aid while Maoists claim that those running behind third country resettlement should be held responsible for weakening struggle for Bhutan democracy.

The Saturday meet that concluded successfully with assurance from both sides in respecting all sorts of sentiments clearly shows that the initiatives taken by Lama and Chhetri would pave a way for common consensus if they work wholeheartedly towards mediating such groups. Bhutan News Service
