“Bimal Gurung is just a vanguard of the State Government to suppress the Gorkhaland issue”; Khati ABGL General Secretary pin points GJM’s faults
MUKESH SHARMA
KALIMPONG,
June 10:
The High Power
Committee report of recommending only 5 mouzas of Terai- Dooars under Gorkha
Territorial Administration (GTA) against the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha’s (GJM) 150
expectations out of 398, might be a big blow to the Morcha, but it has
definitely carved a way for Akhil Bharatiya Gorkha League (ABGL), General
Secretary, Pratap Khati to pin point the Morcha’s faults.
Speaking on this regard
Khati mocked that the GJM has been able to secure just 5 marks out of 400. Now
the public needs to decide whether the GJM has passed or failed, he asserted.
Restating the statement of ABGL’s slain leader Lt Madan Tamang, that “Bimal
Gurung is just a vanguard of the State Government to suppress the Gorkhaland
issue”; Khati charged that the State Government has been fuelling Gurung for
its vested motives. Gurung had once declared before that if Gorkhaland is not
formed within March 10, 2010 then he shall kill himself. But neither Gorkhaland
was formed, nor did he kill himself, notified Khati. “The public from hills and
the Terai- Dooars gave their whole hearted support for Gorkhaland and during
this process many of them lost their lives too, but till date what did they
attain? Nothing,” underlined the General Secretary. Due to GJM’s false steps a
rift between different communities has emerged in Terai- Dooars, he told.
Further, he asserting that
nothing has been gained till date; Khati said that GTA is the baptized form of
Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC). The public were fooled by Subash Ghising
during 1986 and in recent times Gurung is doing so, he added. The people have
not only been deceived but they have been heavily betrayed. The Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee keeps on stating “Now money shall flow”; hence the GJM has been
conducting agitation for the money and the supreme chair, alleged the General
Secretary.
Further, regaining his
composure as the ABGL’s General Secretary, Khati advocated that the public should
realize that the ABGL stands firm by its words unlike GJM. Lastly, he informed
that ABGL will be conducting a hunger strike on June 21, 2012 at Darjeeling to
press the demand for handing over the digital files of Madan Tamang murder case
to the League which is with the CM right now. If the Government does not hand
over the tape until the last week on June, then ABGL President, Bharati Tamang
who is also the widow of Lt Madan Tamang will sit for an indefinite hunger
strike, he concluded.
