Bhutan Peoples' Party (BPP) is the pioneer
political party formed in exile on 2nd June 1990 to protect the
Bhutanese citizens from repression unleashed against them by the
hundred years old feudalistic (a community that originally
came from Tibet and later established a hereditary monarchy
under the assistance of the then British authority in India)
oligarchy.
Bhutan today is plagued by corrupt, inefficient,
racial and feudalistic system of governance. The Royal
Government of Bhutan is so un-democratic and repressive that it
has made one-fifths of its citizens flee their homes of
generations and live as refugees in the UNHCR administered camps
in eastern Nepal when they voiced against the government's
repressive and discriminatory policies in the early 1990s.
Bhutan Peoples’ Party is committed to achieve its
ultimate goal of Constitutional Monarchy, Parliamentary
Democracy and Multi-Party system of governance through peaceful means. We are
a mass based political party of the Bhutanese society and have
memberships from different ethnic communities and is proud to be
the single largest political Party in the country. We have
successfully organized countrywide democratic peaceful rallies
and other programs. The party has adopted Democratic Socialism
and Mixed economy as its ideology, with the aims of internal
integration of economy and democratization of the society at the
grass-root level. This system of governance is the only viable
option for a developing country like Bhutan which lies between
the two Asian giants: China in the North and India in The South.
Surprisingly, India is the largest democracy in the world and
also has the strongest influence in Bhutan than any other
country.
We are confident that the winds of democracy that
has uprooted undemocratic and repressive regimes in the world will
also definitely blow towards Bhutan and help establish democracy and
rule of law in the country.
We
would be grateful to all who help us achieve democracy and rule
of law as a system of governance in Bhutan. |
