Only two articles of Human Rights declarations states:
Article 1.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
Article 2.
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.
Are we as citizens of Bhutan enjoying just two of 30 declarations of human rights in Bhutan?? Can we say that we have GNH when we don’t even have freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Thank you Bhutandaily for letting us to publish this articles coz none of other website has such place where we can express our heart. Not Kuensel nor Bhutantimes.
Human Dignity:
Every human is human and nobody is too big or too small. Every person has right to be respected and to respect others. A person does not become superior because of his political status, material possessions, or social status. Every person is important in his/her own standard and position.
It is not only high ranking officers who deserves respect but even simple citizen of the country. No one should be looked down just coz one is just simple citizen. So not only red kapney officers deserves respect, every one should be respected. Red kapney cannot exist if there were no people.
There is no guaranty that king will never make a mistake. King can make major mistake and cause major damage to country. So king should always hear what citizen has to say. It is not that citizens are always wrong and king is always correct.
Bhutan lacks this two side story. Bhutan is run by one way street. No one is allowed and no one can question Wangchuk dynasty. Is Wangchuk Dynasty supernatural who make no mistakes?
No. What Bhutan sowed in ignorance in 90s will reap now, through Maoist who are backed by communist of the world. ALFA and southern Bhutan problems are nothing compared to what we are going to face with communism. You may not believe now time will tell us.
But if someone during National Assembly criticized RGOB for handling of southern problem during those hot days, he/she will be a black sheep of the flock and would end up in Chemgang.
