PDP prepared to take matter to court

PDP--prepared-to-take-matter-to-courtThe People’s Democratic Party’s President (PDP), Tshering Tobgay said PDP is prepared to take the matter to the Court for the remarks made by Druk Phuensum Tshogpa (DPT) against them.

“The DPT’s president’s allegations are extremely dangerous. PDP challenges the DPT’s president to prove the allegations and name the rich and influential people who are behind PDP,” said Tshering Tobgay in a press conference yesterday.

He said if Druk Phuensum Tshogpa’s President cannot prove the allegations and name the rich and influential, Jigmi Y.Thinley will be exposed as a liar, “And failing which PDP is prepared to take the matter to the Royal Court of Justice for defamation.”

PDP filed a complaint with the Election Commission of Bhutan, against the remarks made by the DPT’s President, today.

Tshering Tobgay said PDP had a difficult time clearing their debts, last year.  He added their campaign funds unlike DPT are running on a shoe-string budget.“DPT is the Party that is enjoying the support of many rich and influential businessmen in our country. They own large industries, many quarries, heavy equipment and they are the largest contractors in the country.”

He said it is a clear case of outright defamation and lie. “We must stop this and prevent campaigning to degenerate to this level.”
