DARJEELING: Taking a cue from their rivals Gorkha National Liberation Front (GNLF), leaders of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) have decided to embark on an organizational strengthening activity after Diwali.
Last week, GNLF supporters in Mirik, where the party still has a substantial support base, had gone about putting up their flags in houses and streets to make their presence felt. Though GJM supporters had opposed it, timely action by police had prevented any major trouble.
On Monday, GJM central committee leaders convened a meeting at the Singamari party office in Darjeeling, to deliberate on the issue. The party has decided to hold public meetings in Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kurseong, Mirik hills, Siliguri and Dooars.
"We will hold series of public meetings in the Hills and plains. The organizational strengthening activity will continue till December," said GJM general secretary Roshan Giri. The party will convene a national-level conference in Darjeeling on December 16, to discuss problems plaguing the Gorkha population across the country.
