SIBLAC cautions ruling party against ‘conspiracies’ of its spokesperson

GANGTOK, 08 Aug: The Sikkim Bhutia Lepcha Apex Committee has taken strong exception to Sikkim Democratic Front’s party spokesperson, Bhim Dahal’s remarks accusing SIBLAC convenor, Tseten Tashi Bhutia, as being casteist and communal. In a press release issued as a rejoinder to Mr. Dahal’s comments made at a press conference recently, SIBLAC has argued that Mr. Dahal’s “unfortunate” remarks “tantamount to or invite mistrust and feud beneath the leadership”. The ruling political leadership must be careful and cautious of the hidden agendas and conspiracies of Bhim Dahal, which we don’t know, a SIBLAC press release states.

The release argues that “had the political future of the indigenous BLs would not have been at stake following several anti BL resolutions and agendas in the Sikkim Assembly or the Government, there would not have born Tseten Tashi Bhutia in Sikkim”.
“It is very unfortunate that Bhim Dahal could not see the variation between a political party like SDF or the Congress and a social organisation like SIBLAC and more-so of the issues,” the release adds.
The response was resolved at a general meeting of the organisation held on Saturday to discuss Mr. Dahal’s comments as published in newspapers on the day, it is learnt.
