Bhutan is a Buddhist country and by virtue of this there are several Buddhist monasteries and study centres traditionally operating in Bhutan. There is nothing to suggest that any of these institutions or monasteries is involved in any anti India activities. India and Bhutan enjoy a close partnership, and coordinate regularly in security matters.
Our Mission in Nepal is aware of the presence of foreign study centres and monasteries in Nepal, though no instances of their involvement in anti-India activities has come to notice. While there is no indication of a substantial increase in anti-India activities, Government of India continues to monitor developments in border areas. The Government of Nepal has assured that it will take all necessary steps to curb fundamentalist and anti-India activities and that it will not allow its territory to be used against India.
This was stated by Minister of State in the Ministry of Home Affairs Shri Kiren Rijiju in Lok Sabha today in a written reply to a question by Shri Hari Manjhi and Smt. Mala Rajya Laxmi Shah.
