No press freedom during Chamling’s 25-year rule, alleges Golay

Prem Singh Tamang aka Golay, on Monday, said that Pawan Kumar Chamling was muzzling the press during his 25 year-long rule in the Himalayan state.
He said the situation will change under the new Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) government.
Golay announced the constitution of a Media Welfare Board to look into all areas for development of journalism in Sikkim and promised to construct a new Press Club building in the state capital.
"They were prevented from writing about the misdeeds of the Sikkim Democratic Front government,” Golay claimed.
Chamling also diverted several crores of rupees meant for the development of media in Sikkim.
