There have been many incidents of threat to life to the Bhutanese refugees languishing in the UNHCR run camps in eastern Nepal in the name of some armed organizations mushrooming within the refugee community. But recently it has come on the light that some individuals by themselves and some groups backed by the reactionary forces have accused the CPB (MLM) in such filthy games. Particularly the "Birat Clique", which has shrunk into a handful of cadres, has been engaged in such conspiracies to befool the masses and to serve its reactionary godfather.
At present, there has been a great destructive contradiction in the clique. Most of the cadres have attacked Birat on the question of true leadership and mass arrest of the cadres after the received of letter sent by the cadres from jail. They have accused one of their leaders, N.P.Kafley, as a traitor and the agent of the enemy. They have asked Birat to investigate into the matter immediately because they all have been mislead by Kafley resulting to the fraction of the CPB (MLM) and mass arrest of the cadres.
But instead of fulfilling the cadres demand the "Birat clique" has been engaged in defending Kafley to further serve its reactionary godfather. Since there is no support from the people, most of the cadres of the clique have joined the process of 3rd country resettlement process. But the noteworthy thing is that they have accused CPB (MLM), led by Com. Vikalpa, the founding G.S. of the glorious party, while seeking security in the offices of CMC, IOM, and UNHCR that they have been threatened for their life, which is absolutely a false interpretation. They have also been engaged in threatening the people in the camps in the false name of the CPB (MLM) to defame and encircle the party as far as possible.
Hence, what we assure the people of the camps and to all the individuals and groups is that CPB (MLM) has no such policy which is against the interest of the people and democratic struggle. If there has been any such case, we strongly condemn it and once more clarify that it has been a conspiracy against our glorious party CPB (MLM). We are always with the justice loving people of Bhutan and the world community to observe the Human Rights and to safeguard the democratic norms and principles.
With revolutionary salute!
