सिटिजन एक्सन पार्टी सिक्किम आज सिङ्ताममा भएको जोइन्ट एक्सन काउन्सिल (ज्याक)का महासचिव श्री केशव सापकोटामाथि भएको प्राण घातक हमलाको तीब्र निन्दा र घोर आपत्ति जनाउँदछ। सिक्किममा प्रजातन्त्र हराएको छ। ज्याक कुनै राजनैतिक पार्टी थिएन।ज्याकको नेतृत्वमा अन्यायमा परेका जनतालाई न्याय दिने कार्य भैरहेको थियो। ज्याकले सिक्किमको अस्तित्वमाथि संरक्षण गर्ने कार्य प्रजातान्त्रिक ढंगमा गरिरहेको बेला मध्ये दिउँसो बजारमा यस्तो गुण्डागर्दी र हत्या हिंसाको क्रियाकलाप गरिनु प्रजातन्त्रको निम्ति घातक हो। सिक्किममा सरकार पुर्ण रुपले विफल भएको हो।यहाँ कानुन ब्यबस्था पुर्णरूपमा छैन।सिक्किममा आतंककारी गतिविधि बढ्नु दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण हो।

श्री सापकोटाको ज्यानमाथि प्राण घातक हमला गर्ने ब्यक्तिहरुलाई प्रशासनले झट्ट पक्राउ गरेर आवश्यक कार्वाही गर्नुपर्छ औ भविस्यमा यस्ता घटना नदोहोर्‍याउन सिएपी सिक्किम अपील गर्दै घटनाको तीब्र निन्दा र विरोध गर्दछ।

“ SDF Party remains committed to revisit the historical and political events leading to the merger of 1975.”

Press Release :

The unfortunate dilution of our precious Sikkimese identity and the spirit of Article 371F, through the Supreme Court Judgement dated13th January,2023 followed by the Order passed in the Review Petition, and its subsequent affect through the undebated but passed by Parliament, the Finance Bill-2023 on 23rd March 2023, has spilled out into the open. In view of the above, it has now become imperative for the people of Sikkim to come together to vehemently oppose the lackadaisical approach and attitude of the SKM Government and in particular the Chief Minister, Law Minister and the legal luminaries acting on behalf of the State. The SDF Party has already demanded the Chief Minister’s resignation.
We the SDF Party welcome and support any form of democratic move or protest regarding any violation of the rule of law by the State and such sensitive issue concerning the overall interests, rights and identity of the Sikkim and its people. The recent appeal made by the Hamro Sikkim Party and the Joint Action Council on 6th and 8th April, 2023 respectively, who have decided to undertake such form of protest against the dilution of the Sikkimese identity and violation of Article 371F, the SDF Party appeals to all its members, well-wishers and peace loving people of Sikkim to come forward, participate and extend their support in a democratic and peaceful manner in the said events in the interest of Sikkim.
We request all right thinking Sikkimese to unite to fight this great people’s cause so that the SKM Government starts taking proactive action rather than showing excuses and diverting from the mistake which has been committed by the State Government till now as a result of the judgement of 13th January, 2023 and the reference of Clauses (iv) and (v) in Section 10 (26AAA) of the IT Act.
The SDF Party remains committed to revisit the historical and political events leading to the merger of 1975.

प्रेस विज्ञप्ति

आदिम जनजाति लेप्चा समुदायको भाषालाई भारतीय सम्विधानको आठौं अनुसूचिमा (Eighth Schedule of the constitution of India) अन्तरभूक्त गर्नुपर्छ भन्ने माँगलाई राष्ट्रिय अभियानको रूपमा आरम्भ गरियो। आइतबार शहरको हेलिप्याड, लोअर बुर्तूक स्थित प्रीमिटिव ट्राइव गर्ल्स होस्टेलको सभागारमा आयोजित विशेष सभा सम्पन्न भयो। “One Community One Voice” नामक यस राष्ट्रिय अभियानको प्रथम सो सभामा सिक्किम समेत दार्जिलिङ, कालेबुङ, खरसाङ तथा सिलीगुड़ीबाट विशेष प्रतिनिधिहरू उपस्थित भएका थिए। यस सभा रेञ्ज्योङ मुतानची रोङ तार्जुम (आरएमआरटी), रेञ्ज्योङ मुतानची रिमोङ कुर्मोङ (आरएमआरके) अनि सिक्किम लेप्चा युथ एसोसिएशनद्वारा आयोजित भएको थियो। सो सभाले यस माँगलाई राष्ट्रिय स्तरमा उठान गर्न लेप्चा समुदाय बीच व्यापक सम्पर्क अभियान तथा सचेतना फैलाउने निर्णयलाई सर्वसम्मतिमा प्रस्ताव पारित गऱ्यो। ��राज्यका संस्कृति एवम् धरोहर विषयक मन्त्री सामडुप लेप्चाले मुख्य अतिथिको रूपमा सम्बोधन गर्दै लेप्चा भाषालाई सम्विधानको आठौँ अनुसूचितमा सामेल गराउने अभियानलाई सिक्किम राज्यबाट पूर्ण समर्थन गर्ने प्रतिबद्धता व्यक्त गरे। उनले राज्यका मुख्यमन्त्री पीएस तामाङले यस माँगलाई लिएर अति नै सकारात्मक रहेको बताउँदै भविष्यमा उनलाई भेटेर ज्ञापन पत्र चढ़ाउने बताए।
सो सभामा कालेबुङबाट आएका आल इण्डिया कमेटी फर् कन्सटिट्यूसनल रिगोगनिशन अव् लेप्चा ल्याङगुएज इन् एट सेड्यूल्ड अव द कन्सटिट्यूसन अव इण्डिया (All India Committee for Constitutional Recognition of Lepcha Language in Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India) का संयोजक यूसुफ लेप्चाले भाषा मान्यताको सम्बन्धमा एकजूट हुनु पर्ने बताउँदै धर्म वा क्षेत्रको आधारमा लेप्चा समुदायका मानिसहरू विभाजन नहुनु पर्ने बताए। उनले बङ्गालको विभिन्न क्षेत्रहरूमा बसोबास गर्ने लेप्चा समुदायले यस माँगलाई 2017 मा नै केन्द्र सरकार समक्ष राखेको बताए। अब, पुन एकपल्ट यस माँगलाई केन्द्र सरकार समक्ष राख्नु पर्ने तथा सिक्किमको वर्तमान सरकारको पूरै सहयोग लिनुपर्ने आवश्यक्ता माथि जोर दिए।
यसरी नै सो सभामा आल इण्डिया कमेटी फर् कन्सटिट्यूसनल रिगोगनिशन अव् लेप्चा ल्याङगुएज इन् एट सेड्यूल्ड अव द कन्सटिट्यूसन अव इण्डिया (All India Committee for Constitutional Recognition of Lepcha Language in Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India) का मुख्य संयोजनक तथा पूर्व विधायक नोर्जाङ लेप्चाने यस माँगलाई केन्द्र सरकार समक्ष पुऱ्याउन विगत 2008 तत्कालिन सरकारका मन्त्री गर्जमान गुरूङले सरकारी प्रस्ताव ल्याएको तथा प्रस्तावको समर्थन तत्कालीन विधायक सीबी कार्कीले गरेको जानकारी गराए। सो सरकारी प्रस्ताव सिक्किम विधानसभामा ध्वनिमतले पारित भएको बताए। त्यसबेला उनी पनि विधायक भएको तथा बहसमा सामेल भएर प्रस्तावको समर्थन गरेको बताए। उनले लेप्चा भाषालाई मान्यता दिलाउने माँगको आरम्भ विगत 1977 मा पनि सिक्किम विधानसभामा उठेको बताए।
सो सभामा रेञ्ज्योङ मुतानची रोङ तार्जुम (आरएमआरटी) का अध्यक्ष एवम् प्रीमिटिव ट्राइव बोर्डका अध्यक्ष छेवाङ नर्बु लेप्चाले विगत वर्ष 2022 मा मुख्यमन्त्री पीएस तामाङ समक्ष राखेको तथा त्वरित उनीबाट सकारात्मक सहयोगको आश्वासन पनि पाएको जानकारी दिए। उनले 2008 सिक्किम विधानसभामा लेप्चा भाषासँगै चोङ (लिम्बु) तथा भोटिया भाषालाई पनि आठौँ अनुसूचिमा मान्यता दिलाउने पारित सरकारी प्रस्तावमा सामेल गरेको जानकारी दिए। तर, लेप्चा भाषामा सम्बैधानिक मान्यताका लागि आवश्यक दस्तावेजीकरण पूरा गरेता पनि यस प्रक्रियामा चोङ तथा भोटिया भाषाबाट ढिलाई भएको तथा यसकारणले यो माँग अधि बढ़ाउनमा ढिलाई भएको विचार राखे।
सभामा रेञ्ज्योङ मुतानची रिमोङ कुर्मोङ (आरएमआरके) का सल्लाहकार छितेन लेप्चाले लेप्चा समुदायका स्रष्टाहरूको जीवनीमा प्रकाश पार्दै श्रद्धाञ्जलि अर्पण गरे। जहाँ उनले छोटो अडियो-वीडियो प्रस्तुतीकरण राखे। उनले भाषा मान्यताको आन्दोलनलाई अधि बढ़ाउन आफ्नो सहभागिता रहने प्रतिबद्धता व्यक्त गरे।
सो सभामा सिक्किम लेप्चा युथ एसोसिएशनका अध्यक्ष ओङदेन छिरिङ लेप्चाले आभार व्यक्त गरे। सो अवसरमा राज्यका प्रतिष्ठित लेप्चा लोक गायक मिक्मा लेप्चा समेत कालेबुङका मायाल्याङ अकाडमीका विद्यार्थीहरूले गीत-संगीत तथा सांस्कृतिक कार्यक्रम प्रस्तुत गरे।

Press Release

After the successful organisation of the peace march against the rising violence in the state by Sikkim Progressive Youth Forum(SPYF), SKM has been trying to vilifying SPYF through press releases and press statements.

Here we would like to reply to their allegations.

1. RISING POLITICAL VIOLENCE IS A FACT
Ever since the speech of the chief minister of the state on the foundation day of the ruling SKM party, the state has been exponential rise in the political violence. The zero arrests of any one of those involved in the violence show under whose haste such incidences are taking place. People specially those not in the good book in the ruling have been targeted. Some were attacked in their own home. Some were attacked when they were going for the morning walk. The offices of opposition parties were vandalised and stone pelted.

2. MEMBERS OF SPYF TOO WERE ATTACKED
Not just the members of the opposition parties, even the members of SPYF were also attacked on 5th February at Melli South Sikkim on day broad light. Almost all the office bearers of the organisation have been harassed through several court cases filed in the behest of the ruling party. Moreover, to speak against violence it is not necessary that we ourselves must be a victim. Such organised attack from the party in power is a dangerous sign for the society as a whole. It is a duty of every individual to stand against such attacks.

3. FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION MUST NOT BE CURTAILED
In a democratic set up, everyone has the right to express freely. Simply because the party in power does not like any kind of dissent they cannot go on attacking people who are unwilling to cowed by them.

4. FEAR PSYCHOSIS BEING USED AS A WEAPON BY THE RULING PARTY
In the villages, those who do not host the flag of the ruling party in their house are being seen as an enemy by the ruling party. Such families are being deprived of any governmental welfare schemes. Members of such families, if in government services, are being victimised through transfer to places as far as Delhi, Kolkata etc. If a family does not send at least one member of the family to party functions they are being penalised in one way or the other by the ruling party. Such atmosphere of psychological terror is being devised by the party in power.

5. SPYF AND POLITICS
First the very day of foundation of the organisation on 26th January 2017, SPYF has been clear that we are apolitical only in the sense that SPYF is not for electoral politics. Everything and anything under the sky in the society today is directly or indirectly linked with the politics. No one can be aloof from politics no matter how one tries. If someone belief he is aloof from politics, he is only a fool. Right from the price of basic commodities, to education, health, employment opportunities, road, even environment everything is associated with politics. What SPYF has been doing is also a politics. What differentiate our politics from the rest is that our politics is not driven by the desire to rule people and all our actions in the past have been in the interest of the common people of Sikkim.

6. SPYF AND POLITICAL PARTIES
SPYF has never been against any party in particular. We have joined hand with any party or organisation which shares common interest with us. In 2019, when SDF was enjoying its 25th year of power, we had done several movements in the demand of standard public health services in Government hospitals. Then the SKM supporters including its leaders were in our support. In fact almost all the opposition then had joined our movement. This is not the first time that the political parties support were in support of SPYF.

7. CONCLUSION
The ruling party instead of mudslinging SPYF must work on fulfilling its election promises like restoring democracy in the state among many other promises. The state of democracy in the state is poorer than that in SDF regime. The people are living under constant fear. The chief minister of the state is heard threatening people in his every alternative public address. Anyone voicing dissent is seen as an enemy. If the ruling SKM claims itself to be free from the cases of ensuing violence in the state then each and everyone involve in stone pelting, physically attacking and vandalising properties must be arrested and action must be taken against them as per the law.

Press Release

“The SDF Party welcomes the Sikkim Ekta Yatra announced by the HSP”

The Sikkim Democratic Front Party welcomes the announcement of Shri Bhaichung Bhutia to launch the 1,000 km long Sikkim Ekta Yatra by the HSP.
We see that the ideals and objectives with which this is being taken up are relevant at this moment in time in Sikkim. Sikkim is gripped by a State of restlessness which is due to the policies and programs of violence that has been unleashed on the peace loving people of Sikkim. The undemocratic means used to police this State has caused for many casualties that are in the form of violent acts instigated by open threats of the SKM leaders. This has to be stopped by the people. Democracy is the reason Sikkim became a part of the Indian Union in 1975 through a referendum. We see a complete loss of that in the present political situation as obtained in Sikkim by acts of omission and commission.
Hence, Sikkim needs a healing touch and hence we fully understand the scope of this Yatra through collective political activism. Without peace and security there can never be progress, development and social justice for all.
We wish him and his party all success.
In our own way we are also highlighting the same set of issues in our Sikkim Bachao Abhiyan undertaken by our Party President and the cadres of the SDF Party.

Press Release

Shri Pawan Chamling explains why the SDF forfeited a massive opportunity to celebrate its foundation day and observed Shok Diwas. He says the SDF is observing Shok Diwas in solidarity with all true Sikkim lovers who are mourning unprecedented losses Sikkim is bearing under the watch of SKM government.
“Q. The SDF party’s decision to observe Shok Diwas on its foundation day came as a surprise. Doesn’t this decision negate a huge opportunity to celebrate the party’s foundation day and give a message of unity to party workers? Why such a move? What message is the Shok Diwas giving?
Ans: When we see the series of devastating losses Sikkim has experienced during the previous four years, we decided to mourn by sacrificing our opportunity to celebrate the foundation day of our party. Sikkim is more important than our party. Please note that people have been mourning. Every right thinking Sikkimese is mourning. True Sikkim lovers are mourning. They are mourning daily privately, secretly and individually. We are expressing that deep sense of mourning in solidarity with all of those Sikkimese.
I would like to list some of the catastrophic losses Sikkim had borne under the SKM government’s watch:
1. The destructive, negative and unexpected “change” (pariwartan) that the Sikkim government brought about in Sikkim. People have been shocked. Pro-people governance has been changed into pro-cronies governance. Peace has been replaced by violence. The Chief Minister’s job has changed into bullying, threatening and abusing people. Lies became the ultimate mantra of the government. The CM’s families (wives and children) became the power centre and the government itself became a weapon for them to use. The Police, CID and vigilance forces have been changed into the party's forces. All government employees who have been forced to work for the SKM party must realise that their salaries are not being paid for by Mr. Goley selling his inheritance in Singling. They are public servants and their salary is the people's money.
The SKM party has become more powerful than the state administration. Youths have to depend on the SKM party for survival. Mr. PS Goley has replaced constitutional rights. People have to live at his mercy. To raise a voice against Goley's anti-people policies is to invite trouble.
2. There is massive corruption in the state. Developmental work has taken a back seat. The only thing happening all over Sikkim is the SKM party's picnics, joining programs, meetings, funfairs, sideshows, bike rallies, ministers' singing shows and chief minister's dances where crores of the people’s money are being spent. The government’s main focus has been to organize fun parties. It looks like they have been given a mandate, not to serve the people but to entertain the people. This is happening at the same time as thousands of our educated youth looking for jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities and farmers and mazdoors looking for a steady source of income. The state budget, Covid budget, Covid relief funds, state revenues and all other central funds have been siphoned by the SKM party. The Sikkim government has taken the second highest loan after Punjab.
3. Sikkimese assets and properties have been sold. Outsider business people who are Mr Goley’s close aides have been given the Sikkim government’s land and money to establish their massive business companies all over Sikkim. Seven hydro projects and 50% of our equity share have already been sold. The Sikkim government is all set to sell many more. Take note, more than 90 percent of Sikkimese wealth will be in the hands of these non-Sikkimese businessmen very soon. They have already started ruling Sikkim politically and economically.
4. The appointment of non-Sikkimese people in key government positions by the PS Goley-led Sikkim government has led to major administrative lapses. The appointment of Vivek Kohli and Sudesh Joshi in the post of Advocate General and Additional Advocate General led to the imposition of a foreigner tag on Sikkimese Nepalis and the dilution of the term Sikkimese. There are many such people occupying key government posts under the patronage of Mr. PS Goley.
Mr. Sunil Sarogi, a non-Sikkimese, has been appointed as the executive chairman of hydro projects in the state. He is the mastermind behind the sale of all the Sikkimese assets.
5. The implementation from CCA from 12th December 2019 and the One Nation One Ration Card from 20th June 2021 have diluted the local protection laws. There are over 2 lakh non-Sikkimese people living in Sikkim, most of them are migrant workers. The demography and electorate of Sikkim will have a drastic change in a few years and these CAA and ONORC will help them gain voting rights in Sikkim. Sikkim will never be the same for the Sikkimese. The Sikkim government could have used the Direct Transfer Benefit Scheme to avoid this influx. The Centre had asked the Sikkim government to choose between ILP and CAA but Mr Goley chose CAA, thus compromising our local protection law.
6. The biggest crisis Sikkim is faced with today is the change of definition of the term Sikkimese after the Supreme Court judgement in the Writ Petition (C) No. 59 of 2013 Association of Old Settlers on 13 January, 2023. All the people domiciled in Sikkim have been made equal. Sikkim’s non-obstante clause has been diluted. It had paved the way for all Indians to become Sikkimese in the same manner as all the Sikkimese who had been Sikkimese as per the Sikkim Subject Register 1961 and the Article 371F (k). The distinct personality of Sikkim, distinct identity and special rights of the Sikkimese have been compromised.
While Sikkim is losing on all fronts, the SKM government is celebrating daily. Their celebration will end in Sikkim when Sikkim will be completely sold out to their partners outside.
We will stand for Sikkim. We believe, “Sikkim ma Sikkimey Ko Raj hunuparchha”. Sikkim belongs to the true Sikkimese and the Sikkimese belong to Sikkim. We will not budge an inch from our stance. We will never compromise and we will never give up. Let all the Sikkim sellers be sold out - we will remain with Sikkim.”
