The Gorkha National Liberation Front (GNLF) is
likely to announce its strategy for general election 2014 after the
party’s central committee meets on April 2.
Kurseong GNLF unit spokesperson
Daya Dewan said party chief Subash Ghisingh will hold the central
committee meeting at his residence in Darjeeling on April 2.
"The leaders will discuss the
party's strategy for the elections and also deliberate in length the
political role it will play," he added.
Further, Dewan said the GNLF has
been conducting meetings in different places across the hills. Keeping
with the trend, the party’s women wing, GNWO, conducted a meeting in
Kurseong today. The meeting was attended by a large number of GNWO
members from different areas under Kurseong sub-division, he added.
“The GNWO’s meeting emphasised
on the importance of the Sixth Schedule status and its implementation in
the Darjeeling hills as it is the stepping stone towards the ultimate
goal of a separate state,” stated Dewan.
Stressing further on the
importance of the Sixth Schedule, he said it is the only way to protect
the hills and the identity of its residents.(EOIC)
