KOLKATA, 30 MAY: With the change of guard at Writers’ Buildings, the Gorkha Jan Mukti Morcha (GJMM) attempted to begin on an amicable note as its chief, Mr Bimal Gurung, for once, at least apparently, did not harp on the demands for a separate state but left it to the chief minister, Miss Mamata Banerjee, to think of a solution that would be acceptable to all stake holders.
“Gorkhaland ka baat bad me hoga. (Talks regarding Gorkhaland will take place later). Didi has thought something (about Gorkhaland). The outcome will be good,” Mr Gurung said following a meeting with the chief minister Miss Mamata Banerjee at Writers’ Buildings this evening.
The GJMM chief, along with senior party functionaries, including newly-elected MLAs, met the chief minister and chief secretary Mr Samar Ghosh and discussed the Gorkhaland issue. It may be recalled that Miss Banerjee at the first Cabinet meeting had taken decision to resolve the crisis in the hills “within three months”.
Following the meeting, Miss Banerjee announced that state government officials, including Mr Ghosh, will hold discussion with the GJMM leaders at Writers’ Buildings on 6 June to find out ways to resolve the crisis in Darjeeling.
“After that, discussion at political level will start afresh. The chief secretary will also speak to the Centre about the outcome of the meeting with the GJMM," she said.
“We want the crisis in both Junglemahal and Darjeeling to be solved, Many problems can be solved if there is political vision,” she maintained. “Don't instigate, otherwise the situation could deteriorate,” she said when the reporters sought comments from Mr Gurung on Gorkhaland.
Mr Gurung, who had earlier been sticking to the demand for a CBI enquiry into the police firing at Sipchu on 8 February this year, has also agreed to Miss Banarjee's appeal “to keep faith on Criminal Investigating Department (CID)” which is probing the incident in which three GJMM supporters were killed.
“We are restructuring the CID and requested him to keep faith on CID inquiry. He agreed to it, Miss Banerjee said, adding the state government would “help the families” that had lost their members in the police firing.
