SILIGURI, 23 JULY: Eminent economist from north Bengal, Dr Manas
Dasgupta, today asked whether the GJMM general secretary, Mr Roshan
Giri, had the right to sign the tripartite Gorkhaland Territorial
Administration (GTA) pact.
Addressing a convention on GTA, organised by the Darjeeling district Left Front in Siliguri this evening, Dr Dasgupta said: “Is Mr Roshan Giri Indian? Has he rights to sign the pact? Mr Giri has three birth certificates. It was learnt that he was born in Nepal, in Myanmar and then in Assam. Which is correct? Can he sign the pact when a murder charge is framed against him? Is the pact valid?”
Dr Dasgupta requested the former state urban development minister, Mr Asok Bhattacharya, to raise the question about Mr Giri’s original birth certificate and revoke the pact. Mr Asok Bhattacharya said: “The pact is unclear, contradictory and it was signed undemocratically keeping the people in the dark. After signing the pact several problems have already cropped up in different regions.”
“Chief minister Mamata Banerjee has bought peace by allotting fund of Rs 200 crore per year. Miss Banerjee has a tacit political relation with the GJMM and to please them she had agreed to add their proposals, including the name of the new body ~ GTA ~ to the draft, which was settled through several tripartite talks during the tenure of the LF. The CM has called an all political party meeting to change the name of the state. But she did not call an all-party meeting on the issue of Gorkhaland,” Mr Bhattacharya said. The LF would organise a convention on this issue across the state, including in Kolkata, soon, he added. sns
