KURSEONG, 30 AUG: Following a calculated hibernation
for several months in the wake of the mounting
political tension centering round its political
activities, the All India Gorkha League had resumed
political work in the Darjeeling hills.
According to the AIGL Kurseong branch general
secretary, Mr Prem Bomjon, his party would organise
a series of public meetings in Darjeeling in the
coming days. “The first one would be organised in
Darjeeling on 7 September and this would be followed
by others in Kalimpong and Kurseong which are slated
to be held on 9 September and 13 September,
respectively.
Confirming the resumption of political activities in
the strife-scarred region, the AIGL chief, Mr. Madan
Tamang said that his party could not shirk its
responsibility in the fast changing political
scenario in the hills. “Ours being the oldest
political outfit we owe a responsibility to the
struggling populace in the long-neglected Hills,” he
added.
The
party organised its last public congregation in
Kalimpong in May last year. It could not carry on
with its pre scheduled political programmes in
Darjeeling and Kurseong due to the GJMM’s
antagonism.
Asked
to comment on the issue, Mr Tamand asserted that
democracy had ensured freedom of expression to all
political groups. “Nobody, however powerful, can
prevent others from projecting in public their
viewpoints,” he said. Taking a dig at the BJP Mr
Tamang said that the party was hoodwinking the
simple people of the Hills. |
