GJM
spokesperson and Kalimpong MLA Harka Bahadur Chettri has indicated
there may be some changes in the statehood agitation strategy as the
prolonged strike has disrupted normal life in the hills.
Talking to journalists in Kalimpong
today, Chettri said changes to the movement’s roadmap going ahead will
seek to leverage the mass support being received currently. He said
Tuesday’s meeting of the GJAC will finalise what the new moves would be,
adding, “The forthcoming strategy will be easy but effective”.
According to the MLA, the Congress-led
central government is presently in a fix as regional parties have
emerged as forces to be reckoned with.
“The government’s existence now depends
on the decisions made by Mulayam Singh Yadav, Jayalalithaa, Mayawati and
Mamata Bannerjee,” said Chettri, and the Gorkhaland agitation strategy
would be prepared keeping national-level politics in mind. He said, “We
have received positive assurance from Delhi and we will formulate our
moves as per the situation at the Centre.”
Further, Chettri condemned the
repressive measures adopted by the state government and denied any
possibility of talks with it under existing circumstances. He alleged
the state government is trying to portray the agitation as being
concentrated within the leadership only and not among the masses by
adopting the move to arrest leaders.
GJAC president Enos Das Pradhan has also
said changes in forthcoming programmes are in the pipeline and will be
made public soon.
