PRADIP LOHAGUN
KALIMPONG
9 Oct 2013
Committee members discussed the current political situation in the hills and resolved to take the statehood movement forward.
Speaking to reporters later, Pradhan
said the Kalimpong CPRM committee will continue with the agitation and
intensify it in spite of the centre and state government saying nothing
final can be decided on the issue before next year’s general election.
He said, “We will work both on the
organisational and political fronts. We are not interested to intensify
our agitation only when the prospects of statehood being achieved seem
high. We will continually launch activities to show the centre and state
how serious we are on our demand for a separate state.”
Asserting no development work and
administrative setup will suppress the statehood demand, Pradhan further
said, “Let the government go on with its anti-Gorkhaland policies and
practices, but we will prove there are no alternatives to the formation
of a separate state.”
Throwing some light on plans ahead, the
CPRM leader said, “New programmes will be launched after Dusshera.
Leaflet distribution, poster campaigning, demonstrations and rallies
will begin to press for our rightful demand.”
On being asked about the tripartite
meeting scheduled on October 23, Pradhan said, “Our meeting did not
discuss the tripartite meeting and GTA as GJAC constituents can pursue
their own programmes.”
The Kalimpong CPRM president also said
the party will expand its activities to bolster workers in the
unorganised sector. He added party workers belonging to various
affiliates will also be educated on the organisational and political
strategy of the CPRM.
The CPRM meeting also observed a minute’s silence in memory of party member Prem Kumar Pradhan who recently passed away.
