Fact Verification Panel to verify the High Power Committee report

Kalimpong|Mukesh Sharma: Upset over the High Power Committee report the 21 representatives of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) today met with the Chief Minister (CM) Mamata Banerjee at Writers’ Building, Kolkata during which it has been decided that a Fact Verification Panel will be formed in order to verify the High Power Committee report which recommended the inclusion of only 5 mouzas instead of the demanded 398 under Gorkha Territorial Administration (GTA)."We have demanded a rejection of the Shyamal Sen Committee report. This report is a humiliation for us. The CM has said that a Fact Verification Committee will be formed headed by a Secretary of the State Government to look into the report of the Committee," said the GJM General Secretary, Roshan Giri.The GJM Chief Bimal Gurung already dismayed by the High Power Committee report now remaining doubtful about the ‘to be formed’ Panel said that they cannot fully trust on the new Committee, for it too belongs to the State Government. Unlike the High Power Committee, this Panel should be authentic, he asserted. When asked about the GTA elections, Gurung said that it is not the right time to comment anything about the said elections for GTA still remains uncertain. Once the 21 delegations return from Kolkata, the Morcha shall then deliberate the pre planned party programmes and also chalk out new programmes.
