Trinamool Congress, a burning topic in the hills in recent times ‘Trinamool trying to bring regional politicians under its banner is unethical’- Col Aaley

 MUKESH SHARMA: Trinamool Congress has become the talk of the town much lately for deciding to hold a mass meeting in Kalimpong and also with the rumors of making the politicians of various parties in the hills to join hands with them. If not for all this has proved to be a major topic of concern for the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GTA) and its fellow supporters and other Morcha parties under its banner. COL.RAMESH ALLAY Commenting on the same the Indian Gorkha Ex- Army and Para Military Morcha President, Col Ramesh Aaley complained that it is unethical from Trinamool’s side in working towards expanding their party in the hills by trying to bring the politicians from various regional parties under their banner. What is the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee trying to prove by saying that she will be granting Gorkha Territorial Administration (GTA) in one hand and in the other by delivering slogans like ‘Bang Bhang Hobena’? Aaley questioned. Whether Mamata’s Trinamool of Buddhadeb’s Left Front, none of the State parties which came to power have delivered a positive response for Gorkhaland, he stated. 

Saying that the Morcha Chief, Bimal Gurung’s one and only aim is to attain Gorkhaland, the President asserted that people should understand that Morcha’s agitation and GTA treaty cannot be compared to Subash Ghising’s Gorkha National Liberation Front (GNLF) agitation and agreements. Advising the public to imbibe the feeling of sacrifice, he added that, the unity and the sacrifice of the people and the ancestors since the past 107 years have kept the Gorkhaland movement in momentum. Unity among us is the utmost need right at the moment, he underlined. Further, mentioning the role of the Gorkhas this Ex- Army said that before independence the Gorkha soldiers made immense contribution for making the Bengal region gain republic. But now the Gorkhas are faced with challenges of being tagged as foreigners and immigrants by the people of the said region. Lastly, acquainting about the Gorkhaland Personnel (GLP) recruitment under GTA he said that 100 people have been recruited and divided into 2 groups of 50 each and are being trained for civil defense. The will and aim of the Army Morcha too is Gorkhaland and we want more support from the youths and workers, he concluded.
