DECLARATION
We, the undersigned, announce the launch of a new political party to bring
forth the issues concerning the constitutional basis of Sikkim’s existence in
the Indian Union. We also have the following facts to declare for the general
information of the Sikkimese People.
Considering all the above, we feel that the experiment of article 371F has
failed miserably and the Sikkimese people are being denied their due as
agreed upon by all parties, including Govt. of India, as per the 8 th may
agreement of 1973. As article 371F forbids the Courts in India to take up the
matter of the agreement, we the people of Sikkim have no alternative than
to Challenge the 36th Amendment to the constitution of India, and demand
that an International agreement be honoured without further delay and grant
Sikkim its Associate State status as promised. We also demand that
provisions for having an associate state be incorporated into the Indian
constitution forthright so that we may not be denied our rights a day more.
