The Sikkim unit of Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) has condemned the Inner Line Permit (ILP) bill passed by the Manipur Assembly recently that has spread fear among the Gorkhas settled there for generations.
We condemn the conspiracy to evict Gorkhas from Manipur and urge every Gorkha organization spread across the nation to protest against it, said the Sikkim GJM in a press statement today.
The Sikkim GJM also welcomed the support extended by Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Chamling and GTA chief executive Bimal Gurung towards the Gorkha community of Manipur. We urge the Centre to give justice to the Gorkhas of Manipur, said the Sikkim GJM.
“Gorkhas have toiled hard to develop Manipur and now they are being labeled as ‘foreigners’. This is against the Indian Constitution and undermines the contribution of Indian Gorkhas for the nation. The Union government should take immediate steps on this,” said Sikkim GJM president Dependra Dewan in the press statement.
