Kathmandu, July 3, 2009: Four members from the family of human rights leader Tek Nath Rizal have flown to Canada on Monday under resettlement program.
Rizal is one of the leaders opposing resettlement process and still advocates for repatriation of all exiled Bhutanese to their homesteads.
Rizal family entered the IOM exit camp in Kathmandu on Sunday morning, 24 hours before flying. IOM allows such entry to families of political and human rights leaders and few facing threats.
Rizal, when asked, denied saying that his sons and daughter-in-law are flying under resettlement.
Details will follow.
Finally the truth came out…..I have no problem in Mr.rizal’s family getting resettled in canada or any other country.It is the compulsion of almost all refugees to get resettled no matter he/she was a leader or no not.Good.
One thing all bhutanese must believe is that the refugee leaders never wanted the sons and daughters of the innocent farmers to be better in the past or get resettled , most of the leaders even today advocate anti resettlement campaigns,in the process few innocent refugees lost their lives. But the so called leaders wanted their sons/daughters to be always in better position be in oppotunities,grabing facilities……..(long list goes)and follow their lagacies and lead the unorganised masses in the future.Now i hope Mr.Rizal will realize the bitter truth and stop misleading the mass .Hope for the best and good luck to Rizal for broadening the thinking style.
It is good for the sons and their family members of Mr.T.N.Rizal as they too got the chance to be resettled.I am sure Mr.Rizal might have understood now the need to go for the resettlement process.I wish for his good health.
I think it is not a problem for the Bhutanese Refugees when Mr. Rizal’s sons and other relatives goes for resettlement in third countries. The real truth just came out and this helps the general refugees in the camps to know that the leaders always used others to keep their politics alive. Let us hope the other so called leaders like Mr. Rizal who have been advocating anti-resettlement campaigns will also realize the truth and help the innocent refugees to freely and openly choose the better options.
This shows TN ji flying soon
Thanks for the Rizal families for supporting Resettlement Programme.
