Siliguri, 23 October
The Left Front chairman, Mr Biman Bose, today welcomed the Gorkha Jan Mukti Morcha (GJMM)’s gesture to open dialogue with the state government to resolve the ragging Darjeeling Hill crisis.
“It is a good development. My party welcomes it whole-heartedly. Our stance is clear ~ the Hill-based party should go for dialogue, either bipartite or tripartite, to resolve issues leading to the stalemate. It is a futile exercise on the part of the GJMM to continue with the movement for Gorkhaland. The people suffer and development gets stuck because of the stir for statehood. This is bad for the long-term interests for the Hills,” he said before attending the Darjeeling district CPI-M secretariat meeting in Siliguri this evening.
Asked about the uncertainty hovering the tripartite meeting over the Hill tangle, the CPI-M leader said the GJMM should refrain from the movement to make grounds for fruitful dialogue.
He further said his party would hold a public meeting in Darjeeling in the coming days ~.a stance that might ring sweet in the Trinamul Congress’s ears as it would lend credence to the ruling party’s claim that it has made the ground situation congenial for democratic engagement involving the parties operating in the Hills other than the GJMM.(SNS)
