New Delhi [India], May 16 (ANI): On the occasion of Sikkim’s 50th Statehood Day, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took to his official X handle to greet people of the state.
“On the occasion of this historic milestone, I renew my pledge to support your aspirations for sustainable growth and equal opportunity,” his post read.
“Blessed with stunning landscapes, rich biodiversity, and vibrant culture, Sikkim is a true jewel of India. On the occasion of this historic milestone, I renew my pledge to support your aspirations for sustainable growth and equal opportunity. Wishing the state continued peace, progress, and prosperity,” Gandhi posted on X.
President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have also extended their greetings to the State. President Murmu on X said, “Warm greetings to the people of Sikkim on Statehood Day… I extend my best wishes to all residents of Sikkim for a future full of prosperity and well-being.”
PM Modi in his message on X said, “Warm greetings to the people of Sikkim on their Statehood Day! This year, the occasion is even more special as we mark the 50th anniversary of Sikkim’s statehood! Sikkim is associated with serene beauty, rich cultural traditions and industrious people. It has made strides in diverse sectors. May the people of this beautiful state continue to prosper.”
The Chief Minister of Sikkim Prem Singh Tamang expressed gratitude to the people of India for accepting Sikkim as a part of the Indian Union. He said, “Today, we are a part of the biggest democracy in the world. We are protected, we are secure. We don’t have to worry about anything. We are fully protected as a small state of the Indian Union.”
The Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) on Thursday organised a ‘Tiranga Rally’ on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Sikkim’s statehood. The SKM workers also praised the Indian Armed Forces for their success in Operation Sindoor.
Sikkim marked its 50th Statehood Day with a series of exciting initiatives aimed at promoting the state’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. As part of the celebrations, the government has launched the “Festivals of Sikkim” magazine, a comprehensive publication that showcases the state’s diverse festivals and traditions. Additionally, the “Visit Sikkim” mobile app was unveiled, providing tourists and locals alike with a digital platform to explore and experience the best of Sikkim.
The event also featured innovative augmented reality (AR) games, designed to engage visitors and locals in an immersive experience of Sikkim’s culture and landscapes. Furthermore, a time capsule containing messages from the Governor and Chief Minister was sealed, to be opened by future generations, serving as a testament to Sikkim’s commitment to preserving its history and heritage.
Sikkim’s journey to statehood was a long and complex one. The state was an independent kingdom ruled by the Chogyal dynasty until the mid-20th century. In 1973, anti-monarchy riots broke out in Sikkim, leading to a referendum in 1975, where the majority of the population voted in favor of abolishing the monarchy and merging with India. (ANI).
