SKM workers falsely implicated in Avinash Yakha case, party claims

GANGTOK, 07 Feb: Sikkim Krantikari Morcha [SKM] has strongly condemned what it claims to be an “undemocratic procedure” followed by the investigating team in the case against SKM workers accused of attacking Avinash Yakha of the ruling party.
In a press release, SKM informs that its party workers, Sangay Tamang and Ramesh Subba, who were arrested in connection with the alleged attack on Avinash Yakha have been granted bail. The party contends that both had been arrested on false allegations as part of a “deep political conspiracy”.
As per Sangay Tamang, on 26 January, a 25-member police team arrested him from his residence, giving no opportunity to present his side of the story. He was not present at the spot where Avinash Yakha had been allegedly attacked, the release claims.
The party states that at the time of the alleged attack on Avinash Yakha, both the accused were engaged in party-related work at the Lall Bazaar office. It further states that SKM also has proof in the form of minutes of the meeting, attendance register and eye witnesses to confirm that the two were present at Lall Bazaar.
“This sad incident clearly indicates the low level of politics practiced by the ruling party of victimizing innocent active workers of Sikkim Krantikari Morcha to harass and suppress our genuine movement for change,” the release adds.
