Ghisingh mum to media queries

PTI/ Jul 19, 2011, 02.55am IST/SUKNA: Subash Ghisingh was on Monday a lonely man at his rented house in Jalpaiguri district, far from the venue of the tripartite agreement that replaced the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council he had headed after its inception 23 years ago.


Ghisingh, the founder of the Gorkha National Liberation Front and who had once ruled Darjeeling with an iron hand, did not respond to mediapersons' queries about the Gorkha Territorial Administration, the new hill council.


It was Bimal Gurung who took the wind out of the sails of Ghisingh and drove him out of the Hills in 1998, a year after he floated the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha.
