SKM slams reports of party leadership breaking up

EOI, Gangtok, 30 Oct 2014: The Sikkim Krantikari Morcha has refuted reports of disparity cropping up in the party leadership. 

“Some false reports have come out in the media about a change in our party leadership, which is not true at all. We are unified and still remain the ‘Krantikaris’,” said SKM spokesperson Bhoj Raj Rai in a Press meeton Thursday.

He added the party will slap a defamation case against the Nepali daily newspaper published from Siliguri that had carried the “false” news item if it does not publish a corrigendum. 

“The news does not quote any individual; we want the newspaper to reveal the name(s) giving such misleading information. This is but yellow journalism and we condemn it outright. We will not tolerate such articles not based on facts,” said another SKM spokesperson, KN Topgay, adding the SKM will participate in the municipal election likely to be held early next year.
