GANGTOK, 26 May: Sikkim Sangram Parishad [SSP] submitted a
memorandum to the Governor’s office today urging his intervention into the
incident that occurred at Lall Bazaar on Sunday.
On Sunday morning, inspection by Gangtok Municipal
Corporation [GMC] officials at Lall Bazaar caused the hawkers to call a bandh
after the officials allegedly misbehaved with them. The bandh spread to the
main town area as well and even shops at MG Marg shut down in solidarity.
SSP has accused Sikkim Democratic Front supporters, Deputy
Mayor Shakti Singh and councilor Udai Lama of Gangtok Municipal Corporation of
venting their anger against hawkers of Lall Bazaar for supposedly voting against
SDF in the recently concluded elections.
In the memorandum, the party has reiterated its demand for
the immediate arrest of all SDF supporters named in the FIR lodged at Sadar
Police Station.
“SSP demands justice and your intervention to assuage the
fears of the victimized people. We feel this is an oppression of the hawkers
and business community of Sikkim”, the memorandum states.
