We shall use our identity as "Sikkimese-Indian" says CM on Birth & Death Registration Amendment Act 2023 row

We shall use our identity as "Sikkimese-Indian" says CM on Birth & Death Registration Amendment Act 2023 row 

Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang today addressed the pressing issue of Birth & Death Registration Amendment Act 2023 and said we have coordinated with the central Government and reciprocated that we shall use our identity as "Sikkimese-Indian" in the form that is filled for registration.

He further said the opposition has no issues so they are trying to rope in propaganda, but the said amendment will not harm us in any way.

Must tell, Sikkim's civil society organization Sikkimey Nagarik Samaj along with other opposition parties in the state have shown their skepticism saying the matter falls under the concurrent list and the state has a lot to consider before implementing we would like to draw the government's attention to this new act and not to accept it easily and it needs to be discussed thoroughly before implementing it. Sikkim is a different state, we fear it may hamper the rule 4(4) and Sikkim old law under the Sikkim's safeguarding Article 371 F and urged for detailed deliberation and discussions in this context CM today while talking with the media during the Janta Bhetghat public outreach programme at Naga, Namgor in North Sikkim. 

Must tell here Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Act, 2023 which allows the use of a birth certificate as a single document for admission to an educational institution, issuance of a driving license, preparation of voter list, Aadhaar number, registration of marriage or appointment to a government job will come into force from October 1.
