GTA pact fails to please AAGSU

GANGTOK, 24 July: The All Assam Gorkha Students’ Union (AAGSU) has contested the claim that the tripartite agreement for formation of the Gorkha Territorial Administration (GTA) has secured identity for the Gorkhas for the country. The GTA, AAGSU argues, is a territorial and sociopolitical arrangement worked out for the people of Darjeeling and stresses that it should not be misconstrued as offering solutions for Gorkhas elsewhere in the country.
