Madan Tamang not allowed to address the people at Darjeeling yesterday

Posted by barunroy on June 17, 2008

Madan Tamang, President All India Gorkha League (AIGL) was not allowed to address the people at Chowk Bazaar, Darjeeling yesterday by the Gorkha Janmukti Nari Morcha. While the Nari Morcha blocked AIGL President’s way to the dias at Gitange Dara as seen in the picture, when asked why they were doing so, Prof. Rumba the chief convener of the Gorkha Janmukti Nari Morcha said that they were not stopping him (Madan Tamang) from addressing the people, in fact they had themselves come to hear his speech and had thus sat on the stairs of the Gitange Dara.

    A few weeks ago Bimal Gurung was protesting the fact that they were not being allowed to democratically demonstrate in the plains.

    Here is his formula of Democracy – a prologue for things to come.
