31 Aug 2013
While Mirik residents were seen busy
shopping today during the 24-hour relaxation given to the shutdown, some
GNLF supporters were seen busy hoisting their party flags at several
vantage points. The GNLF’s Village Protection Cell members were
entrusted with the task of hoisting the party flags.
Mirik-Soureni VPC commander Santamani
Rai said as party flags were destroyed by antisocial elements, new flags
are being put up in support of Gorkhaland. Claiming Gorkhaland is
possible only through the Sixth Schedule, Rai said, “The current
movement in the hills is only a drama to fool the public and the people
will gain nothing from it.”
According to Rai, the Sixth Schedule is
an easier way to achieve a separate state stressing the GNLF is not
against Gorkhaland. “If a movement is spearheaded sincerely, the
question of not supporting the leadership will not arise at all,”
remarked the GNLF leader.
