Bhojraj sees Sikkim Disposal and Destruction of Documents and Records Bill as dangerous

GANGTOK, 21 March: Former MLA Bhoj Raj Rai and Krishna Gurung of Mamring, in a joint press release issued today, have thumbed down the Sikkim Disposal and Destruction of Documents and Records Bill as a dangerous bill. The release alleges that the Bill [which is incidentally identical to the Destruction of Records Act of 1917 which extends to the rest of India], now passed by the Legislative Assembly, if granted consent by the Governor, might get used for wrong purposes by the Chief Minister.
The release has further alleged that since the government documents and files “contain proof of corruption” during the SDF government, this Bill has been brought to destroy evidence.
The duo has called on the Governor not to give his assent to the Bill and demanded that until the CBI has not investigated the corruption charges against the CM and the State Government, not a single documents should be destroyed.
