Their main complaint was that “Indian authorities stop them when they try to escape from Nepal to Bhutan through India”.
Such refugees have been living in seven camps in eastern parts of Nepal for some 15 years now.
A three-member delegation of the Bhutan National Front for Democracy (BNFD), which visited India this month, had met Yechury with the same demand, insisting on a tripartite dialogue among India, Nepal and Bhutan to resolve the issue.
During its two-week-long stay in New Delhi, the Bhutan leaders had also met with the international affairs head of the BJP Surendra Singh Arora, and CPI National Secretary D Raja.
