SKM condemns former colleague’s comments

NAMCHI, 20 Nov: The South district unit of the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha [SKM] has reacted strongly against a statement made by their former party colleague Basant Rai who left SKM recently to join the ruling Sikkim Democratic Front.
Condemning a comment attributed to Mr. Rai in which he termed the party’s youth as “drug addicts and peddlers”, the South district youth leaders of SKM called a press conference today at the party office.
The press conference was jointly addressed by Tilak Basnet [South District general secretary of SKM], Shadeo Gurung [organizing secretary, South], Biswajeet Chettri [joint publicity South, Manoj Rai] and Kishore Tamang.
Addressing the conference, Tilak Basnet claimed that Basant Rai “was never an asset for the party but was a liability instead”.
“He changes his loyalty to parties like the weather,” he said.
“He is making various allegations against the SKM youth today but in fact he was the one who misbehaved with the jail personnel when SKM supporters were jailed for 44 days. He is the same person who made several derogatory comments regarding the Chief Minister,” Mr. Basnet added.
