New Delhi:
Amid discussion about a Sikkim-Darjil Missing merger with politicians of various parties, Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang has rejected all such claims as false. Today, after the Legislative Assembly session, the Chief Minister said that the special status of Sikkim under Article 371F of the Indian Constitution will continue to protect its autonomy.
“It is known to everyone, every Sikkimi. Even those who spread those rumors have been asked about the merger and they have claimed that the merger will never happen. This is not possible. Opposition) does not have issues to move forward, so sometimes there is no problem, ”he said.
On Tuesday, during the Sikkim Revolutionary Morch Party Foundation Day, Mr. Tamang said, “There is no merger between Sikkim and Darjeeling. We are protected by Article 371F. Neither can any state take to Sikkim nor any Other areas can be a part and no other area may be a part of Sikkim … Sikkim has its own identity “.
The Chief Minister said that on 12 February on February 12, the delegation in New Delhi will not include representatives of Darjeeling Hills in New Delhi with the demand for tribal status for 12 Left communities.
He said that the previous delegation included representatives of the Darjeeling Hills for the demand for Limbo Tamang community tribal status (early 2000s).
“The meeting was scheduled to be held in Kolkata, because the chairman of the committee is from Kolkata. The first such meetings are held in Saman Bhawan (Gangtok). We also have members of Delhi in our own infrastructure (Sikkim House). The ministry, “he said.
However, Mr. Tamang said that the representatives of two states would collectively pursue the demand for tribal status for 12 communities.
“This would be a good pressure collectively on the Central Government to carry forward the demand for tribal status. Therefore, we held a meeting in Siliguri because this demand is the same for both Sikkim and Darjeeling, their demands are 11 communities and our demands To be.
The opposition Citizen Action Party had earlier questioned the state government about contacting the Darjeeling MP, Raju Bista of BJP, not with the demand for tribal status for 12 Left communities and not with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
