A
large number of Gorkhaland Personnel, the voluntary cell of the Gorkha
Janmukti Morcha, have resigned en masse from their jobs in the
Gorkhaland Territorial Administration to participate in the statehood
struggle.
The Kurseong GJM leadership today
welcomed several GLP members who were working at various government
offices in Kurseong and Kalimpong, mainly as security guards. They
assembled at the motor stand area and chanted slogans in support of
Gorkhaland.
A GLP member said, “We have resigned
just like our chief Bimal Gurung who resigned as GTA chief for the
paramount demand of Gorkhaland and we too are ready to sacrifice
ourselves and fight till our last breath.”
GJM youth leader Subash Pradhan said the
party welcomes and respects their stance, adding the personnel have
been sent to their respective camps to prepare for the agitation.
Since its inception, the GLP has been
trained well by various ex-army personnel in the art of warfare. The
personnel have even helped curb transportation and sale of illegal
liquor.
When the GTA was set up in 2011, several
GLP volunteers had been given jobs in the new setup, mainly as security
personnel. (EOIC)
