DARJEELING / SILIGURI: “Gorkha Janmukti Morcha is trying to usurp political power in order to play with the dreams and aspirations of the Gorkha people,” said Rajya Sabha Member Saman Pathak. Speaking at a political meeting organised by Communist Party of India Marxists, Champasari Local Committee at Milanmore Kariabari School Grounds, Saman Pathak further said, “Smaller states were not possible in the coliation politics that was prevelant in India today. Formation of smaller states will lead to a weak union and ultimately destroy the nation. This is exactly why greater autonomy is the only answer to all the problems faced in the Hills.”
Speaking out on the possibility of the formation of the separate state of Gorkhaland, Rajya Sabha MP said, “Gorkhaland is not possible by any means. This is also known to the leaders of Gorkha Janmukti Morcha. Even then they are giving false hope to the people.”
Alleging that Gorkha Janmukti Morcha was creating chaos and mob rule in the hills, Pathak said, “Gorkha Janmukti Morcha has silenced all free opinions in the hills. The Gorkha people are silent. Subash Ghisingh had taken the Hills 50 years back, Bimal Gurung has taken it further 50 years back. The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha leaders are the enemies of the Gorkha people.”
Speaking at the political meeting CPIM State Committee Member Jibesh Sarkar said, “The future of Bimal Gurung and Roshan Giri will be worse than that of Subash Ghisingh. Subash Ghisingh has been offered protection and refugee at Siliguri even after being chased by Bimal Gurung and his men. But in the case of a new party being formed in the Hills and similiar fate waiting for Bimal Gurung and Roshan Giri, the peace loving people of Siliguri will not allow them in their land. The attempts being made by the Morcha leaders to create a rift between the people of the Hills and the plains will be fouled by the people themselves. Gorkhaland will not be a reality even in the next 100 years.”
Speaking out on the sitauation rising out of the coming General Elections, Sarkar said, “Lok Sabha MP Dawa Norbula is using Bimal Gurung to garner support for the elections.
