GANGTOK, July 23: Nar Bahadur Bhandari, president, Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee (SPCC) has wholeheartedly supported the demand of a separate Gorkhaland state. “Gorkhaland is my unfulfilled dream. So, I will definitely do whatever I can do for the fulfillment of this demand, even it means pressure from the party high command or resignation from the party,” the former Chief Minister said.
He further said that the withdrawal of the Left Front from the UPA is a good sign for Gorkhaland demand.
“Every one has his/her right to support Gorkhaland but no one can oppose their demand as Gorkhas are fighting for their rights. I am hopeful that the demand for Gorkhaland may be possible only after the coming general election,” Mr Bhandari said.
