The ball is in the Court of the sacred institution that guard the sovereignty of Bhutan.
The Chief of DANTAK ( DANTAK is part of Border Road Organisation of India) Brigadier PKG Mishra declared to Kuensel the main National Newspaper of Bhutan that:
To quote Kuensel, " DANTAK considers itself as an integral part of this Country." Unquote.
KPG Mishra is reported to have told Kuensel that Bhutanese Media should ignore the concerns of Bhutanese people about DANTAK putting Sign Boards welcoming visitors to the Kingdom of Bhutan.
He further went on to say that he himself had not bothered to even respond to the letter sent to him (more than 10 months ago ) by the Secretary of the Ministry of Works and Human Settlement regarding the gate that welcomes visitors to Bhutan by DANTAK at Paro Bondey where Bhutan's only International Airport is located. In all essence, the Brigadier has declared that DANTAK has every sovereign right to do as it damn pleases in Bhutan.
Every Bhutanese citizen may want our Government to respond in kind to:
1. How did Border Road Organisation and it's branch DANTAK of India become integral part of Bhutan?
2. Why does the Royal Government of Bhutan find it alright to be ignored by Brigadier PKG Mishra of DANTAK in the matter of letter sent by the Government Secretary to DANTAK. Why did Bhutanese authority fail to take that gate down? What happened to that Patang and Kamni responsibility? Only for subjugation of powerless Bhutanese or for post decoration?
I thank Brigadier PKG Mishra for making his declaration through the main National Newspaper Paper " Kuensel ". The Boarder Roads Organisation of India has put the Tsawa Sum of Bhutan on Notice not just the Cabinet of Bhutan. And he has a point in saying that the Media should ignore the concerns of the Bhutanese people. Afterall we have our King and Prime Minister to address national concerns of such magnitude. The crystal ball of DANTAK is now in the Courts of our deeply respected and beloved Leaders.
PS. Read the front page article titled " Paro locals question Project DANTAK welcome sign " in Kuensel issue of today the 11th of Feburary, 2017.
Our leaders, Government, Opposition and political parties will not make any noises or take hard stance on it because they feel they are obliged to India. Instead, they can blame its people for making noises.
ReplyDeleteI think Bhutan is an integral part of DANTAK. So far our leader has given their best to come out from the protectorate state of India but the present government has condemn the DPT govt. for being forging the diplomats relation with China and lend the help from India to win election by compromising the sovereignty of the nation. So, the government is joyfully enjoying the the Indian Bully.
