Any proposal for reservation for Tamang and Limboo tribes in the Sikkim Legislative Assembly can be considered only compilation of results of the 2011 Census, the Rajya Sabha was informed today.

''At present no authentic population figures for Limboo and Tamang communities are available. If reservation for these communities is to be considered as per proportion of their population in the state, as recommended by the state Government, the same can be available only after the results of the 2011 census are compiled,'' Home Minister P Chidambaram said during Question Hour.

The Minister said here had been a proposal from the Government of Sikkim to increase the number of seats in the Legislative Assembly, from the present 32, to a minimum of 40. A resolution passed by the State Legislature of Sikkim on September 16, 2004 also recommended that 12 seats be reserved for Bhutia and Lepcha communities and one for Sangha should be protected. It also said that reservation be provided for Limboo and Tamang communities.-- (UNI)

Assembly seeks reserved seats ‘soon after’ publication of Census 2011

The Chief Minister also brought in the Government Resolution No 4 of 2011 today with three main points: Reservation of seats for Limboo and Tamang tribal communities in the Sikkim Legislative Assembly, the increase in the number of seats to forty in the Sikkim Legislative Assembly and Notifying the remaining Sikkimese as Scheduled Tribes, which was considered and adopted unanimously by the House today.

The bundle of three commitments submitted in a common Resolution today are so because they are interlinked. While reserved seats for the Limboo and Tamang communities, now that they are Scheduled Tribes, is a Constitutional requirement, but because the present Assembly strength of 32, does not have enough seats in the open category to set aside as ST seats for the Limboos and Tamangs. This is where the second part of the Resolution, demanding increase in the number of Assembly seats from 32 to 40 comes in and with it comes the demand for the notifying of the remaining section of the Sikkimese society as Scheduled Tribes. This proposal is in line with the CRESP Report prepared by Prof BK Roy Burman on the issue.
The Resolution calls on the Central Govt to grant reservation of seats for the Limboo and Tamang communities in the Legislative Assembly “soon after the publication of 2011 Census of India” and then grant the other two demands as well.
The proposed Assembly strength of 40 maintains the BL seats at 12, SC at 2 and proposes to increase the Sangha representation to 2 [an additional seat for all monks, including Tamang and Gurung monks], 20 seats for the Scheduled Tribes [which are to include all Sikkimese], with 4 seats left “open”.
The CM pointed out today that while the State Government has provided all reservations of the Limboos and Tamangs [by virtue of their being ST now] which were under the State’s jurisdiction, like reservation in jobs and at the panchayat level, the provision for the Legislative Assembly was a Parliamentary subject for the Centre to resolve.
