Indefinite sit-in resumed

Kathmandu, November 04: More than 40 exiled Bhutanese have resumed the indefinite sit-in protest in front of the UN House at Pulchowk in Nepal from Friday demanding immediate and durable solution to the protracted crisis.

They have come all the way from camps in Jhapa and Morang districts and said priority should be for respectable repatriation of all exiled Bhutanese to their original homestead.

They said they even are ready to accept the US proposal to resettle 60,000 of them in the US but urged the international community not to impose the decision.

They have said the international community should guarantee that democratic struggle in Bhutan should not be hindered by the resettlement scheme.

They are also planning to stage similar sit-in protest in front of the SAARC Building soon. Bhutan News Service
