Representatives of Bhutanese refugees from Nepal and HRDI urged India to help the refugees forced out of Bhutan. Indian parliamentarian Tarun Vijay of the Bharatiya Janata Party said that the refugees were "facing silent terrorism at the hands of the monarchy through oppressive laws and systematic discrimination".
