Thapa has called for all Gorkha leaders to come together on a single platform to address community issues collectively.
Sikkimexpress reports that Thapa, a prominent figure in the Gorkha community, has appealed to fellow Gorkha leaders to consolidate their efforts on a unified platform. The call aims to streamline advocacy for Gorkha-related concerns, ranging from cultural preservation to political representation.
In his statement, Thapa emphasized that fragmented voices weaken the community's bargaining power with state and central authorities. By presenting a cohesive front, he believes Gorkha issues can receive focused attention and more effective solutions.
The appeal comes amid ongoing discussions about the status and rights of Gorkhas in the region, with various factions previously operating independently. Thapa's initiative seeks to bridge these divides and foster collaborative decision‑making.
Stakeholders are expected to convene in the coming weeks to deliberate on the structure of the proposed platform and outline priority actions.
If successful, the unified platform could become a pivotal mechanism for advancing the Gorkha agenda at both state and national levels.
