June 10:
The
political mercury in North Bengal has risen once again, after an unexpected
blow to the Gorkh Janmukti Morcha’s (GJM) expectations. The GJM had expected at
least 150 out of 398 mouzas to get recommended by the High Power Committee. But
to everybody’s surprise the 10 member Committee headed by Justice (Retd)
Shyamal Kumar Sen recommended only 5 mouzas i.e. 2 from Dooars and 3 from
Terai. The Morcha who were gearing up for the Gorkha Territorial Administration
(GTA) elections by staying much optimistic towards the High Power Committee’s
report, now feel humiliated at their own home region. The GTA which was once
proclaimed by theMorcha as the 1st successful step towards Gorkhaland formation
is now left unwanted by the Morcha itself. The discontented GJM General Secretary
was found stating, “If needed then we shall not let the GTA elections happen. “No
election, only agitation.”Disappointed and dissatisfied with the whole
situation the GJM Central Committee held an imperative meeting today at Patleybaans
presided over by the Morcha Chief, Bimal Gurung. During the meet the Committee
chalking out Morcha’s further plans, decided on submitting a memorandum to the
Chief Minister (CM) and District Magistrate (DM) on June 12, 2012, opposing the
High PowerCommittee’s report. They shall also submit an application to the CM
requesting her to spare some time for the Morcha. And luckily, ‘if’ the CM
accepts their request, then 21 GJM members will be heading towards the capital
to meet her in order to discuss and deliberate the ‘mouza matter’. The
Committee further notified that on June 27, all the Municipality Chairmen and
Vice Chairmen of Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kurseong and Mirik will be putting
forward their resignations.Likewise, the Morchashall be calling on 74 hours
Darjeeling and Terai- Dooars bandh for consecutive 3 days i.e. July 02, 03 and
04. It has been announced that the MLAs of all the 4 Sub Divisions (Darjeeling,
Kalimpong,Kurseong and Mirik) will also be putting forward their resignations
on July 17 at Chowrasta followed by burning of the GTA documents. Finally, on
July 27,the GJM will be holding a mass public meeting during which they shall
reveal their further future programmes.
