CPRM’s own way of Gorkhaland agitation

KNE;Kalimpong, February 05: The Communist Party of Revolutionary Marxists (CPRM) members distributed booklets at various areas of Kalimpong today, related with the Gorkhaland issue. “A message to the Gokhaland lovers by the CPRM”, read the booklets. The CPRM Regional Committee, Spokesperson, Mohan Poudyal said that the century old demand of the hills is still not fulfilled. He informed that the booklet describes about the same. He added that the 1986 agitation was on full force but the leaders then lacked vision. 

The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha in 2007 started its agitation, but it all got compromised with Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA), said Poudyal. Further, he claimed that in 2007, the CPRM also supported the Morcha and its leader Bimal Gurung, believing that the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC) is a hindrance to a separate state formation, but nothing happened, he added.

 “Therefore, this booklet aims to aware the people about Gorkhaland and it states that it is not an issue of a single person”, said the Spokesperson and added tht it will only be possible if everybody stands united. Poudyal further stressed that similar to the Gorkhaland Task Force (GTF), the voice should be made common in unity. 

The Kalimpong Regional Committee President, Kishore Pradhan said that the Gorkhaland agitation as per the CPRM is based on cadre, not public. “Our agitation works in an organizational manner. We have never received any invitational letter for a collaborative agitation by the Morcha”, he said. However, he said that if they are invited then there will be a discussion in the central level after which decisions will be taken.
