SKM observes Pratiwad Diwas to mark lathicharge anniv

GANGTOK, 11 Feb: Sikkim Krantikari Morcha [SKM] observed ‘Pratiwad Diwas’ today to mark the first anniversary of the police lathicharge on SKM workers at the party headquarters in Tadong here on 11 February last year.
Working president, Bharati Sharma read out the message of the party president, PS Tamang [Golay] who is under treatment in Siliguri. Present today were senior party functionaries including former Rajya Sabha MP, PT Gyamtso.
In a message to SKM workers, the party president has said that the state government’s “barbaric attempt to silence the ‘krantikari awaaz’ was not successful in suppressing the enthusiasm of SKM workers who will continue to raise their voices.
“11 February was the day our party headquarters was established and unfortunately on this day my brothers and sisters also suffered an inhuman attack by police personnel led by IGP Akshay Sachdeva. So, we will observe this day as Pratiwad Diwas from now onwards,” Mr Tamang conveyed.
Condemning the incident he has saluted the spirit of SKM workers some of whom were sent to jail while some were hospitalized. The ‘krantikari yuva’ have shown courage to uphold the democratic aspirations with the view to develop the state, adds Mr Tamang.
Addressing the gathering, working president, Bharati Sharma said that the day marks the beginning of SKM’s fight to overthrow the ruling SDF party. She urged party workers to stand united and work for a better Sikkim.
