It is really shameful for Indian Government who can’t provide space to migrant Hindus, but feeding 1.5 crore Bangladeshi Muslims! – Editor
Kathmandu (Nepal): After more than 15 years of waiting, the first Bhutanese refugees in Nepal have started to leave for a new life in other countries. More than 100,000 Nepali-speaking Bhutanese people have been in refugee camps in Nepal since the early 1990s.
The mainly Hindu people were forced out of Bhutan, a Himalayan kingdom which has a code of national conformity. Bhutan, which maintains that most left voluntarily, has never allowed any to return to the country.
A line of men, women and children is pictured in Sunday’s newspapers waiting to board a plane from eastern Nepal to Kathmandu. These 17 families will then fly on to their new homes, reportedly in the United States and New Zealand.
Some months ago the US and some other countries agreed to accept tens of thousands of the refugees. Many, desperate to escape the camps, applied to go. But their departure is increasing tension in the camps, with some refugees and self-appointed refugee leaders saying that the only acceptable path is complete repatriation to Bhutan.
