Rangpo, 6 April : Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) Lok Sabha candidate Prem Das Rai has stated that safeguarding the interests and rights of the common people of the state is the sole objective of the SDF.
According to Rai, today Sikkim is losing its rights, Article 371-F of the Constitution has been abolished, and financial laws and other central laws are attacking the existence of Sikkim. In such circumstances, we are committed to protecting the rights of Sikkim and are dedicated to glorifying it. Therefore, the SDF party has launched the ‘Save Sikkim Campaign’ among the people.
Addressing a public meeting on Friday at Namthang Ratepani, Rai said that SDF is a Sikkim-oriented regional party. As a disciplined and people-friendly party, SDF is committed to the peace and security of the people, which has been disrupted by the SKM government through actions such as murder, violence, and crime.
