  • Two bomb blasts rocked different parts of the country on June 5 with the Communist Party of Bhutan (MLM) claiming responsibility. Its General Secretary Vikalpa asserted that the blasts initiated “the armed people’s war to eradicate the regime1.”

    Meanwhile, the Bhutanese National Assembly established fourteen standing committees for public accounts, poverty reduction, legislation, foreign relations, human rights, women and children, culture, labour and employment, private sector development, environment and urban development, youth and sports, media and information communication technology, education development, and ethics. None of the government ministers can become members of the above committees2.
