Gangtok, April 5, 2013
Nagarik Suraksha Samiti (NSS) convener Prem Goyal has
demanded the State government to make public the letter sent to New Delhi sent
from Sikkim containing objectionable claims on Sikkimese Nepali community.
Chief Minister Pawan Chamling had recently disclosed that
such letter is being examined by the Centre. He however did not reveal who had
communicated such note to the Centre.
“Such ambiguous comments could create division among the
communities here living in peaceful coexistence. The Chief Minister must
disclose who had written such letter to New Delhi leveling disgracing the
Sikkimese Nepali community. If he does not disclose the identity, then it will
mean that he is making an irresponsible statement causing disharmony among all
Sikkimese”, said Goyal.
The NSS covener was speaking during the inauguration of the
office of All Sikkim Educated Self-employed Association here at Sisha Golai on
April 4.
The office aims to receive grievances from the public which
would be taken up by the association.
Submitting his grievances, Goyal urged the association to
probe into such controversial letter. The letter, as mentioned by the Chief
Minister, is a very serious matter which can lead to infighting among the people
here, he said.
Goyal has been fighting hard for income tax exemption to
the old settlers here at par with the Sikkim Subject holders.
