Gangtok, Mar 10: In a significant political development, Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) brought different regional and national parties of the State to pass a resolution for imposition of President’s rule in Sikkim.
The opposition parties included Bharatiya Janata Party, Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee and other regional parties. The united opposition met in Gangtok yesterday and took the decision.
They are of the view that peace and security must be restored so that free and fair elections could be held. “One way is to have President’s Rule under Article 356 extended to the State of Sikkim,” they said.
The opposition parties will take out a peace rally on March 11 in protest against the attack on former speaker KN Rai of Sikkim Legislative Assembly.
The opposition parties suggested the extension of the President’s Rule under Article 356 to the State of Sikkim.
“All the parties agreed that the law and order situation in Sikkim has collapsed and the people of Sikkim are living in a state of fear and threat. This is because of the continuous violence that has been perpetuated in the last five years. Many such political violent incidents have happened in Sikkim in the past few years,” said senior SDF leader Prem Das Rai.
