Moktan’s statement creates rift in the GTF

KNE;Kalimpong, December 31: There are much possibilities seen that the Gorkhaland Task Force (GTF) faction may dissolve. After the GTF Coordinator, R Moktan said that the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) should call all party meet regarding Gorkhaland, tension has been created within the GTF. The Akhil Bharatiya Gorkha League (ABGL) central committee General Secretary, Pratap Khati cautioned that the ABGL will step out from the GTF, if Moktan does not take back his words or amend them. 

As per Khati, Moktan commented without any deliberation. The ABGL General Secretary said that Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangh (BGP) is an umbrella organization and for the demand of a separate state, the ABGL joined the organization on its call. But the Moktan has been working as per his wishes, he added. 

 Saying that ABGL does not know anything except Gorkhaland Khati said, “We shall never accept those who compromise with Madan Tamang’s murder. Moktan by asking that particular faction who has compromised with the government for Gorkhaland, to call an all party meeting has done a false job. This is outside ABGL’s rule. Moktan has started buttering the Morcha”. Further, alleging the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of working against Gorkhaland, Khati said, Darjeeling is not Mamata’s source of income. “As per the constitution of India we are demanding a separate state. Who is the CM to tag our revolution as plaintiff?” questioned the ABGL General Secretary.
