Akhil Bharatiya Adivasi Vikas Parishad to organise movement from April 1

March 25.TT: The Akhil Bharatiya Adivasi Vikas Parishad today said it would organise a movement from April 1, demanding immediate dissolution of the territory committee. It will also launch a “do-or-die” movement, if necessary, to prevent inclusion of even an inch of land from the plains in the hill set-up.

But rebel adivasi leader John Barla along with the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha today organised a rally in Nagrakata in favour of including the Terai and Dooars in the GTA.

“We will write to the government on March 27, demanding dissolution of the committee,” said Atul Roy, the president of the Kamtapur Progressive Party, one of the 19 organisations that held a meeting with the Parishad today.

Parishad leader Rajesh Lakra said: “If any decision is thrust on us, we will launch a do-or-die movement across the Terai and Dooars and Siliguri and will never give an inch of land.”
