Morcha must not resist those who voice for Gorkhaland- CPRM

The Communist Party of Revolutionary Marxists (CPRM) president Kishore Pradhan today said that no party in the Hills should resist another who voices for Gorkhaland. Pointing the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM), he said that if the Morcha loves Gorkhaland they should not oppose those parties who agitated for Gorkhaland. Pradhan held that if Gorkhaland has to be achieved, then the GJM must not only be limited to table talks with the oppositions in the Hills but must also be united in the streets. The parties who favor Gorkhaland agitation in the Hills are somehow countered in the Hills, he believed.Likewise, the CPRM secretary Mohan Poudyal opined that the Gorkhas residing in different parts of the country are facing severe problems as compared to the Hills, as they are in minority. Thus, the demand of Gorkhaland has to be fulfilled under Article 3(A) of the Indian constitution, he said. “The Telengana demand is younger than that of the Gorkhaland but time and again the leaders of Telengana have stood united, which is vice-versa in the Hills. The leaders here have been quarreling with each other which has to end immediately”, said Poudyal. He added that for attaining Gorkhaland, all parties of the Hills have to come under one banner.The CPRM shall voice for Gorkhaland until and unless it is formed”, advocated Poudyal. The Marxists also carried massive postering drive today in Kalimpong.
