I read an article about the Bhutan Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) some a days. I extremely surprised because it is a banned political party in Bhutan. I search for internet for more details about the political wing. I got some details, but it is not complete.
The political party was formed in United Nation’s refugee camps in Nepal. The party’s aim is to overthrow of the Bhutanese monarchy and form the House of Wangchuck. What an aim? The party has an armed wing. It is called Bhutan Tiger Force (BTF).
Their (top) 10 demands are here:
- Bhutan Government must declare sovereign democracy and guarantee people’s rights and freedoms
- Bhutan Government must repatriate all its citizens with dignity and honor
- Bhutan Government must guarantee with acceptance in principle of right to self-determination
- Following the principle of Land for the people distribute the lands to poor peasants and landless farmers
