GANGTOK, 29 Sept: Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangh (BGP), Sikkim has demanded that the Central Government break its silence over the gross human rights violation by Mamata Banarjee led Trinamool Congress government of West Bengal in its Darjeeling district.
In a press release, BGP Sikkim, general secretary, Prabin Khaling states that the West Bengal government in its attempt to repress the Gorkhaland movement, has been trying to provoke and disturb the non-violent movement led by Gorkha Janamukti Morcha in Darjeeling. The alleged molestation of a school-going girl by a RAF Jawan is an example of the “evil going on in the hills”, states Mr Khaling.
Further alleging that Mamata Banerjee’s government is trying to repress the movement by inculcating fear among the masses, BGP has strongly condemned the incident. The party has also condemned the central government’s policy of “appeasing West Bengal for political gain at the cost of the legitimate demand of Gorkhaland”, it is stated. BGP has demanded that the central forces deployed in the hills be immediately withdrawn.
Gorkha Jagran Samaj [GJS], Sikkim has also condemned the incident and demanded immediate withdrawal of central forces from the district. A GJS release states that it is “extremely unfortunate that the West Government with indirect help from the central government has unleashed a reign of terror to repress the legitimate right of Gorkhas of India on their century-old quest for a separate Gorkha home land comprising of the territories of Darjeeling and Dooars”.
Also condemning the incident, Gorkha Janmukti Vidyarthi Morcha, Sikkim Unit has stated that the incident cannot be taken lightly since the state security personnel is supposed to ensure people’s access to justice, protecting their rights and safeguarding their dignity.
