BJP today condemned the arrest of Gorkhaland Territorial Administration(GTA) Pulbazar-Bijanbari Sabhasad Kaziman Lohagun on charges of alleged criminal conspiracy.
Mr Lohagun (61), leader of Gorkha Janmukti Morcha's Bijanbari area, was charged for supplying weapons to six persons who had allegedly threatened a farmer for refusing to part with his land for a tourism project at Jamuni in Darjeeling.
BJP, West Bengal unit leader Sidarth Nath said Mr Lohagun was framed with charges of criminal conspiracy, and Arms Act. All the sections were non-bailable, which was totally a politically motivated move by the chief minister Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government.
He said, Lohagun's arrest will disturb the peaceful atmosphere in the Darjeeling hills.
He said, the TMC led government has been not only attacking the BJP party in the state and but also attacking the NDA allies like Gorkha Jan Mukti Morcha.
He said, the arrest of Kaziman Lohagun showed the vindictive motive of the state government as it has lost the prestigious seat of Darjeeling to BJP.
He alleged that the district administration and state police as pawns of the TMC government.
The BJP demanded immediate release of Kaziman Lohagun and requested the Central Government to intervene in matter of using the District Administration and State Police for pro TMC activities.
