Political parties vouching for Gorkhaland should demand more vigorously, recommends Pakhrin
MUKESH SHARMA
KALIMPONG, May 24:
Giving
the example of the Bodo Territorial Council and Telengana vigorously demanding
a separate State, the Gorkha Rajya Nirman Morcha (GRNM) President, Dawa Pakhrin
asserted that it’s high time that the political parties who seek for Gorkhaland
should also gear up and voice more strongly for their demand. Along with the
Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA), the GRNM will also conduct various
programmes in support of Gorkhaland, he mentioned.
Quoting
the lines of the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee ‘Bang Bhang Hobena’, Pakhrin said that any Bengali CM would say
that, but it is our duty to fight for our right which is Gorkhaland without
being de motivated by the CM’s quote. Further he said that after 48 talks and
discussion during the Gorkha National Liberation Front’s (GNLF) agitation the
Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC) was formed and recently during the Gorkha
Janmukti Morcha’s (GJM) agitation GTA is the outcome after 11 talks, hence
people should not be disheartened of Gorkhaland not being formed, instead they
should remain patient.
Stating
that formation of Gorkhaland is definitely possible, Pakhrin appealed the public
to be ready for it and the agitation will fully be democratic. All those who
are asking for a separate State should come together and work for their cause,
recommended the President. “Whole of the country should be involved”, he
stated. Lastly saying that 42% of the Indian population vouches for a separate
State of their own, Pakhrin said that Darjeeling hills are partiality excluded
region of West Bengal. “We should focus about Gorkhaland right now instead of
GTA elections”, he concluded. The GRNM will also conduct talks with Gorkhaland
Task Force (GTF) regarding the elections.
