Finally you have found someone who have joined hands with the Government of Bhutan in calling 100,000 evicted Bhutanese illegal immigrants. Does this guy called Alexander Casella even know what is illegal immigrants. He is supposedly have worked for International migration. He thinks Bhutan is a big country like USA. Bhutan is a small country, in the villages everybody knows everybody, does he mean to say that 20% of Bhutan’s 600,000 population at that time were illegal immigrants ???. How could the illegal immigrants own landed property in Bhutan, if you visit southern Bhutan now you will find new settlers from other parts of the country who are settled by the Government of Bhutan on the land and house of the evicted Bhutanese. I feel sorry for a person like Alexander who likes to assume things and thinks he knows everything. He should get permission from Bhutan to visit southern Bhutan to educate himself, good luck with permission to visit southern Bhutan though so far all the najor media like BBC has been denied the permission, if there is nothing to hide why not give permission. Bhutan Government’s excuse of not allowing journalists in southern Bhutan on security reasons is a big lie, tell me how many people have died of violence or bomb blast in southern Bhutan in last five years ???

“They [the reporters] should play the role of social coordinators. More articles should be written about national unity, integrity and ethnic harmony. Violence of any kind can never be overlooked. Journalists have been targets recently. There are high professional hazards but they are not supposed to keep quiet.

Our media seems superficial, they do not go deep into issues. I don’t like to read about ethnic and regional issues. The press should pacify the situation instead of aggravating it. I wish there would be more write-ups in favour of the national interest that would help maintain regional harmony between the himal, hill and Tarai regions.

A reporter needs to understand the pros and cons of deciding on states based on ethnicities. My request to the press people is they should work hard. What is the use of medicine after death?”

Well said Mr. President.

Don’t point fingers at western countries , I am sure you mean USA and Australia in particular of treating their native people unfairly. Look at what is Bhutan doing, Bhutan is ruled by the people of Tibetan origin who are immigrants from Tibet, your Shabdrung is a run away monk from Tibet too. In fact Bhutan never recognised the aboriginals of Bhutan who are Doyas and Totas, do you even know that they are the aboriginals of Bhutan. Bhutan has shoved them in one remote corner of the country and has done nothing to uplift them. Look at yourself first before pionting fingers at others.

Many Bhutanese claim to have PHDs, why can’t one of them do their thesis on their own native tribe. They are too isolated for modern Bhutanese to visit them, isn’t this the truth ???

How can you say that the Bhutanese refugees living in UNHCR refugee camps were illegal immigrants from Bhutan. You also said they were living in the Bhutan India boarder. Actually not even 10% of Bhutanese refugees living in Nepal are from the boarder areas. Majority are from Dzongkhags like Dagana, Chirang, Dagapela, Lamidara, Dorokha etc. if you know Bhutan well you know where these places are.

On one hand you say they were illegal immigrants and on the other hand you say the Bhutanese from other parts of Bhutan were resettled on the land of illegal immigrants who left Bhutan. According to you, this was done on the request of the local Bhutanese for fear of being threatened by the people who had left and alsoto protect the vacant land from the elephants. OK, tell me one thing, how could illegal immigrants possess land in Bhutan ??? how could not Government check this ??? Bhutan is a small country with a population of 700,000, how hard it is to check the illegal immigrants possessing land. Don’t think that you can fool other people in the World.

A controversial person as Sonam Wangmo should not be working for United Nations. How can should be trusted that she will be impartial while working in the UN when she can write such controversial lies while working for the UN.
