Pakyong, 19 Jul: Ruling Sikkim Krantikari Morcha Party SKM Party Spokesperson cum Political Advisor to Sikkim Chief Minister Jacob Khaling has strongly condemned Darjeeling MP Neeraj Zimba's derogatory statement? on people of Sikkim.
Statement was given to press person over one of the question to Zimba , however Zimba takes transit to shamble Sikkim, watch video.
Release writes, Since time immemorial we have supported the people of Darjeeling in every situation. Shri Tamang has claimed that people of the hills are conscious, alert, awakened who have full love for their land so I want to question him that does an awakened and educated person pass such derogatory comment? Educated and conscious people should have respect for one another since Sikkim and Darjeeling have always shared very close bond with similarities of language, culture, tradition and most important of all love and unity towards one another.
These statement not just hurt the sentiments of the Sikkimese people but it also creates a rift in the healthy relationship that both have nourished and nurtured over the decades. These kind of irresponsible statements made by representative of people violate the moral ethics which we thoroughly condemn and denounce.
