Kurseong, 11 December
The GJMM activists and supporters from different places have started to visit Delhi to stage a ‘dharna’ in support of Gorkhaland.
Giving the relaxation to the third phase of Gorkhaland agitation and its trend of bandh in the Darjeeling Hills, the GJMM chief Mr Bimal Gurung had recently said that the party has now decided to stage programs in Delhi in support of a separate state of Gorkhaland.
He had also announced that he will gather lakhs of people from different states of the country in Delhi in the month of December.
Following the same announcement, for the past couple of days, the GJMM activists and its supporters have reportedly been travelling towards the capital with the intention of gathering people in huge numbers and stage a dharna for the statehood demand for the Gorkha people living in India.
The gathering of the masses from various parts of the country for the scheduled programme has already started.
They will stage the dharna at Jantar Mantar and attend other programmes in Delhi in support of Gorkhaland.
As per GJMM sources, the people from different frontal organisations of the GJMM party, including the GTA members and the councillors from four municipalities of the Hills, have already left their respective areas to visit Delhi. Meanwhile, from Kurseong municipality, out of 20 councillors, 17 councillors, including its chairman and vice chairman, have already left Kurseong yesterday and reached Delhi.
It was learnt that the councillors who have not yet left for Delhi have been stuck due to personal problems or due to some important work.
The movement of the people to Delhi is reportedly being done on their own expenses and mostly by trains and some also by flights.
The party general secretary and the GTA executive member, Mr Roshan Giri, who is already in Delhi for the past few days, said that the people have
already started to reach here in Delhi and we expect that 10,000 people are likely to attend the proposed dharna slated from 13 to 15 December.
