Hill youth ready for Gorkhaland movement claims GJYM leader in Mirik massive public meeting

The Gorkha Janmukti Yuva Morcha today conducted a massive public meeting in Mirik, where its leaders stressed the youths of the Hills were always ready and will always be ready for the Gorkhaland Movement. The GJYM central committee president Sanjay Thulung said, “Gorkhaland is not something that can be achieved overnight. There is a constant need of keeping the agitation alive, patience and perseverance.” He said the youths will have to be ready for a peaceful agitation against the government to realise the long standing dream of a separate state.

On youth who have left the GJM for other parties, Thulung urged them not to run behind people with vested interest and to keep away from small benefits, which many not be enough in the long run. “The youths should be united for the common cause of Gorkhaland instead of losing everything by running behind parties that are completely against the cause,” he stressed.

Slamming the ruling TMC, Thulung said the party is only interested in power and the people who join it are only interested in filling their pockets in the name of development. “Trinamool congress never wanted welfare of Gorkhas and will never do that in future,” he stated. The GJYM president further said the morcha youths will continue to work in the fields of Gorkha literature, language, music, art and education in the days to come.

Conducted by GJYM leader Sunil Bhandari and presided over by Yogesh Golay, the meeting today was also addressed by area youth leaders including Prakash Gurung and Sidhant Gurung along with Parashmani Chettri from Terai unit and Balkrishna Thapa from Kalimpong unit. The meeting was also attended by top GJM leaders including Sabhasads Phurbi Rai and Sunil Pradhan, along with Arun Ghisingh, Champa Bibhar, Kajim Tshering, Kalpana Tamang, Dawa Lepcha and many other GJM central committee members.
