Interesting comment from that article 

 

Ajmer Singh Randhawa We welcome it but why the SGPC not made any attempt to save gurudwara Gurudongmar, Sikkim under threat of conversion by state govt and it's CM Pawan Chamling, into Buddhist monasery. I am the petitioner there to save it but the Advocates sent by SGPC oppose me openly in the court. Do they want the demolition of the Gurudwara and be permitted to be converted into Buddhsit monastery? Sikh nation must keep in mind that it's not an issue to save a structure only but to keep the signs for ages of the visit of Guru Nanak ji there in his 3rd travels to Tibet. Sikkim govt wants to wipe out these signs.

so any sikhs there will be too preoccupied to oppose any govt or sgpc agreements
