GJM suspends bandh yet again
Special Correspondent
KOLKATA: The Gorkha Janamukti Morcha on Saturday suspended its bandh in the Darjeeling hills yet again, till August 7.
The decision comes in the wake of a letter sent by GJM president Bimal Gurung to West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, asking him to facilitate tripartite talks, involving the Centre, on the morcha’s demand for a separate State.
Earlier, the bandh was relaxed on June 22 till Saturday. “We have decided to put it on hold till August 7 in view of prayers being held by religious groups in different parts of the hills during this period,” Roshan Giri, GJM general secretary, told The Hindu over telephone from Darjeeling. Also, the GJM leadership was awaiting the Chief Minister’s response to Mr. Gurung’s letter.
