SPCC VOWS TO EXPOSE SDF NEPOTISM

GANGTOK, May 15: The Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee (SPCC) held an emergency meeting here today to deliberate upon the growing corruption tendency in the state administration resulting in massive suffering of poor people’s miseries and agonies.

During the meeting, the SPCC deliberated upon the recent Central Auditor General Report that was recently tabled in the Assembly wherein the CAG has recommended to the Central government that the Vigilance enquiry be initiated to many government departments for defalcations and corrupt practice with almost dereliction to government financial management.

The release further says that the SDF government has reached the lofty height of corruptions never seen in the history of Sikkim earlier causing colossal loss to state exchequer for deliberately exploiting State exchequer fund for kith and kins of the power brokers. “In view of the above flagrant violation in financial management, the SPCC resolved that it would continue its struggle to mitigate the grievances of the poor by ultimately uprooting this corrupt government,” the SPCC opined in the release.

The SPCC held the emergency meeting today to “thank the CAG, Government of India for bringing out such an in depth report imposing the corruption and financial mismanagement in the State and requested the CAG to address these grievances to the government of India for immediate CBI enquiry.”

“The SPCC has resolved to continue its struggle to expose SDF party nepotism and financial bugling and hegemony for its survival and continuous exploitation of the mass Sikkimese survival and continuous exploitation of the mass Sikkimese poor people in the name of survival of ‘Chari-Khotey,” the press release said.

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi."     This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama.  The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.    JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,  JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER   YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,  TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM     INTERLUDE     PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,  CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI   SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO  HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAHBHUMI     JANHA BAGCHA……     BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,  TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI ...

CLARITY ON CITIZENSHIP (Indian of Sikkimese Origin)

from Sikkim Online CLARITY ON CITIZENSHIP Indian of Sikkimese Origin On 26th April 1975, Sikkim was appointed as 22nd state of India. On that day, Sikkim Citizens, Subject holder (Sikkimese) became Indian Citizen according to “Sikkim (Citizenship) Order, 1975” which says “Every person who immediately before the 26th day of April, 1975 was a Sikkim Subject under the Sikkim Subject Regulation 1961, shall be deemed to have become a citizen of India on that day”. As the Indian Constitution does not provide dual citizenship and there exist only citizenship for the whole of country, therefore, the regulation which provided Sikkim Citizenship (Subjects) commonly known as “Sikkim Subject Regulation Act, 1961” was repealed on 13th Sep 1975 according to “Adaptation of Sikkim Laws (No.1) Order” power conferred by clause (l) of Article 371-F of the Constitution which took effect from 26th April 1975 (appointed day).

The last Chogyal (King) of Sikkim

BY SHITAL PRADHAN I was not born when Sikkim became the 22nd state of the Indian Union, and the only information I have about the political identity of my Sikkim comes from literary knowledge and conversations with elderly people. I personally believe that no nation can develop unless its history, culture, and heritage are preserved. Sikkim, though now part of India, bears the responsibility of every Sikkimese to safeguard its past glory. Interestingly, a few days ago, my college-going nephew surprised me when he mentioned that a man named STNM could be the last Chogyal, while one of my colleagues added that TNA and TNSSS also bear the name of the last Chogyal. Well, is this the future of Sikkim? If we cannot enable the younger generation to connect with the facts and authenticity of Sikkim, the state will surely lose its vivacious historical pages. Twenty-five long years have passed since the passing away of the last Chogyal of Sikkim, Late Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal. Apart fr...
