Darjeeling, Feb. 16: People today woke up to the news of the rejection of GJM demands by the State Government. Amit Kiran Deb who is said to have told the GJM Central Committee members who has met up with him that in lieu of the worsening law and order condition in the Hills, the removal of Subash Ghisingh would be seriously taken up for considerations. However, the insiders in the Writers Building had confirmed that Subash Ghisingh would resign on the 16th of Feb. Subash Ghisingh has now stated that he would not resign either under pressure from the State Government or GJM. The GJM President meanwhile, has declared that the fullfledged movement for Gorkhaland will now commence tomorrow. However, it remains unknown as to what kind of strategy will GJM now take up. The GJM Central Committee has confrimned though that the ‘Fast onto Death’ will begin and that the programs launched earlier will now be re-launched.

gnlf supporters should now consider as to why the bengal government is favouring ghishing ! keeping ghishing on the block will assure the bengal government that there will be no demand for a separate state. Once ghishing is out they know their heads are gonna get bashed !!! so I urge all Gorkhays (GJM or GNLF) please unite for our common cause ‘GORKHALAND’ ! forget ghishing, make him a nice maple wood chair and let him spend the rest of his life there ! but we the Gorkha Youths should now STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS !!!

the present scenario in which the GNLF and the GJMM are at loggerheads with each other is nothing but good news for the state government….all the energies that could be spent on more worthwhile pursuits will now be utilized in brother fighting against brother…actually there could be a flood of GNLF supporters flowing into the GJMM if they were given meaningful and self-respecting ( or at least face saving) options in the new party…GJMM cannot afford to treat these erstwhile GNLF leaders ( especially) as untouchables…
it is now time to form a truth and reconciliation committee and compromise for the greater good of the community..also all the lumpen elements that have made themselves cozy in the new party should be dealt with…one should not use any pretext to settle old scores .. ..the new party should be an enlightened platform for seeking shared goals and not a means for ‘opportunistic’ ends

Why they don’t do a simple thing.
1) Call all the Party Leader
2) Make a arrangement with State and Central Govt.
3) Sit on the chair.
4) Make a demand
5) If fullfills fine chapter close
6) If not the reason thereof
7) If enough & strong reason then the demand will be made
I believe this need to be done for once and all.
