Bhutanese gift to Nepal

It has been rightly said that two issues, for example, poverty and the refugees, have no solutions. Albeit the men falling below poverty line can be reduced and by the same token what could be said that the number of the refugees could be reduced as well as recently His Majesty’s Government of Nepal has done by simply assimilating some of the refugees into the national citizenry. However, the Nepali government’s suicidal decision to take some refugees in the country is not the point of discussion here today. But then yet what could be said of the Nepali establishment on this hair-raising decision is that it should be a decision arrived at the instigation of some of known external forces that wish Nepal going astray time permitting. And if is a decision on our own then what could be concluded that the government under Chand committed a Himalayan blunder and that the national population will ever dub the government as a anti-nationalist establishment. Shame on the government and the men at the foreign ministry who apparently yielded to the dictates of the Bhutanese team by compromising their own national interests. Questions could now be asked as to whether our men at the said ministry were working for the preservation of Nepali national interests or had been clandestinely looking after the interests of the other camp?

To come to the point, our attention has been drawn to a piece of news that reveals that a notorious refugee in the Bhutanese camp during his tenure in Nepal managed to sale some hundred Nepali sisters in the brothels of neighboring India. The new in itself is a hair-raising one indeed. Now question arises: what the hell the Nepali police had been doing all along these years? How could the notorious person could succeed in managing the girls out of Nepal given the fact that various NGOs and INGOs plus the security apparatus is very much kicking and alive? Are these pressure groups a fake ones? Or is it that the security apparatus is clandestinely supporting such ugly acts in lieu of some hefty amounts? Both appear possible for the pressure groups and the security personals have earned already bad names, to put it mildly.

Be that as it may, the social hazards of awarding shelter to the refugees have started pouring in. The present one needless to say (indeed it could rightly be called a "gift of Bhutan" to Nepal) is the worst one and was beyond any body’s imaginations that such an event could also happen given the vigilance of the said institutions. However, this has already happened and hence what could be advised to the men there, to the local administration there and the pressure groups there that they should double their vigilance in this regard in order that Nepal’s innocent girls do not have to serve at the hells in India

Now the moot question is: what if the notorious personality is handed over a AK47 rifle by some anti-national elements in lieu of some hefty amounts again and told to create problems within and without the country? Needless to say, the person who can sell his own sisters and kids for money can do so easily provided the amount is very special. We suppose, there could be such notorious person in abundance who could jump on to acquire guns and pistols if they are pumped money. A person who can create problems in Nepal can do so in neighboring India as well. And the area where the refugees are residing at the moment in Jhapa district fortunately borders India’s "restricted zone" where Indian military barracks are located. What if some elements inimical to India or for that matter some men from the ULFA and the BODO group seduce the unemployed youths of the sorts of the one who sold so many girls to Indian brothels for money and told to create havoc in the Indian territory?

It is time that India acts fast by understanding the gravity of the situation in and around the refugee camps. Or else, India, a security conscious country would have to invite troubles for itself. The message should be clear.
