Gorkha organizations warns Dimapur Gorkha Union

Dimapur, October 24 (MExN): Gorkha organizations are unhappy with a number of resolutions said to have been taken by organization called ‘Dimapur Gorkha Union’ on October 18. Gorkha organizations, from clubs to Panchayats and committees across Dimapur issued a joint statement today rejecting the said Dimapur Gorkha Union. 
In the statement, the Gorkha civil organizations have demanded from the union response and clarification over a number of queries. These include the source of authority that mandated the union to impose “ban” on other Gorkha unions and whether the union has at all the mandate of other Gorkha unions to impose such ‘bans.’ The organizations have also demanded to know if the so-called Dimapur Gorkha Union has the mandate of all the Gorkha citizens of 
Dimapur. 
The organizations have warned the said union and its president to come up with clarification within 7-days, from the date of the publication of this statement, without fail. Further, the organizations have demanded to know who or which unions that are collecting funds, which of them are misusing government assistance and who the complainants are. Clarification to these queries must be publically made through the Media so action can be initiated to cleanse the image of the Gorkha in the eyes of the public the organizations said. 
The organizations also denounced what they alleged is the highhandedness of one Deepak lama, ‘self-styled chairman’ of the “disciplinary action committee” of the DGU who ‘masterminded the arrest and manhandling of one Shibu BK, president of the Gorkha Youth Club of Dimapur and also abusing some Gorkha elders on October 18.
The said Lama is also said to have a “dubious record” of assault. He allegedly assaulted one Ganesh Dahal in 2009 and members of the Gorkha Elders’ Forum in May, 2011. The said Deepak lama is misusing his connections with a “certain political party” to flex his muscles, the organization said.  
The Gorkha Elders’ Forum, Gorkha Youth Club, Chumukedima Gorkha Union, Nepali Mandir Committee, Gorkha Public Panchayat, Nepali Bosti Village Council, Gorkha Pariwar and CGSU appended the statement.
