GANGTOK, 15 May: Addressing a joint press conference on the eve of State Day today, Biraj Adhikar and Delay Namgyal Barfungpa of the Sikkim National Peoples’ Party returned to the party’s position on the Merger and demanded answers from the President of India and the Governor of Sikkim since they occupied constitutional posts and were seen as guardians of the Constitution of India.
The duo and their party remains convinced that Sikkim was served a raw deal in 1975, in the commitments were not lived up to. SNPP, it may be recalled, sees 16 May as marking not a Merger but an annexation.
Mr. Adhikari contended today that the Constitutional provisions made for Sikkim have been violated too often and for too long and that it was time for the President of India and the Governor of Sikkim to give the people some answers.
