Dual citizenship issue, an aftermath of the Centre’s foul play and carelessness of hill’s leaders- BGP
MUKESH SHARMA
Kalimpong, August 09:
“The identity of the
Gorkhas has been on threat”, said that Bharitya Gorkha Parisangh (BGP) National
Working President, Rev Dr Anos Das Pradhan today highlighting the recent dual
nationality allegation labeled against the founding Vice Chancellor of the
Sikkim University, Prof Mahendra P Lama. It may be noted that Prof Lama was
recently alleged of a dual citizenship by a local Ph D scholar, Dr Shiva Kumar
Sharma.
Speaking on the
context, Dr Pradhan said that foremostly the Member of the Parliament, Manikumar
Subba was targeted, followed by the Chief Minister of Sikkim, Pawan Chamling
and now it is Prof Lama. “It is high time for all the Gorkhas residing in the
country to unite together under one banner and fight for their identity and
nationality,” he stated.
Expressing his
dissatisfaction, he further blamed the leaders in the hills sidelining such
vital issues of the Gorkhas in the name of development. “They are more
engrossed in their so- called developmental activities and are least concerned in
solving the identity issue which every Gorkhas has been facing in the country.
Hence, creation of Gorkhaland is a must for solving this issue,” he told. “Just
wearing daura suruwal (traditional
dress) and organizing various linguistics and ethnic programmes cannot fulfill
the need for identity,” he added.
Likewise, Dr Pradhan
also blamed the Central Government of conspiring against the Gorkhas. “The
Government played a foul game during the agitation for recognizing the Nepali
language and they are doing the same for Gorkhaland,” added the fumed BGP
leader.
