Morcha faces threat slur

Darjeeling, April 1: The Gorkhaland Task Force, a forum of five outfits in the Darjeeling hills, today alleged that one of its leaders in Haryana had been warned by the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha against returning to his native village here.

The GTF said Kiran B.K. had earlier been a representative of the Morcha in Haryana, but he left the party following its decision to settle for Gorkhaland Territorial Administration.

“It has come to our knowledge that Kiran B.K, who addressed our dharna for Gorkhaland in New Delhi on March 19, has been asked by the Morcha not to return to his native Mineralspring (15km from Darjeeling). He is currently based in Haryana. We have decided to take up the issue with the district magistrate next week,” said GTF chairperson Enos Das Pradhan.

The Morcha has denied the GTF charge.(The Telegraph)
