Darjeeling lawyers on two-day strike

Darjeeling, March 19: The Darjeeling Bar Association here has called a two-day “cease-work” in the district court from tomorrow to press for the relocation of the special CBI court to the hill town.

This means, no advocate, except for government lawyers, will appear in court.

Seshmani Gurung, the vice-president of the association, today said: “Since we have not heard a word from the state government on the relocation of the special CBI court to Darjeeling, we have decided to go on ceasework for two days in the Darjeeling courts from tomorrow.”

The association had asked the state government to respond to its demand by today.

“The cease-work means no lawyer will appear in court. But government lawyers will be working. For persons booked under bailable offences, the judges will grant them bail. But there will be no one to oppose non-bailable charges slapped on arrested persons,” Gurung said.

“We will send a four-member delegation to meet the state government officials on Thursday,” he added.

The state government had on Saturday cancelled the inauguration of the CBI special court in Siliguri, allegedly after protests from Darjeeling lawyers who said the plains town was being given more prominence than the district headquarters. The programme was cancelled despite invitations being sent by the secretary of the state’s judicial department and the district and sessions judge.

The CBI court, which was previously on the Darjeeling court premises, had been relocated to Calcutta apparently because of lack of CBI cases.

“But there are at least 41 CBI cases from the hills and the relocation of the court is causing great inconvenience to the Darjeeling people,” Gurung had said earlier.

The association had gone on a four-day pendown strike from February 1 with the same demand.(Telegraph)

PM pledges hill solution - Darjeeling MP seeks funds for GTA region

New Delhi, March 19: Manmohan Singh today promised in Parliament that a “practical and viable solution” to the situation in the Darjeeling hills would be found and recognised the “contribution” of the Bengal government in “facilitating the outcome”.

The Prime Minister was responding to Darjeeling MP Jaswant Singh’s plea to the government to resolve the issues related to the hills and extend financial assistance for the development of the region.

“I wish to assure this House that we have worked with sincerity to find an amicable solution to this difficult problem. We recognise the contribution made by the Government of West Bengal in facilitating this outcome. Whatever issues are outstanding, the House has my assurance, we will work with the same constructive spirit to find a pragmatic, practical and viable solution,” the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister’s assurance comes amid tensions between the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha and the state government over the holding of the elections to the new hill body, the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration.

For the Morcha, the only issue is territory. “We don’t know what the Prime Minister means by outstanding issues. For us the only issue is territory. This should be settled. If the Prime Minister intervenes and settles this, we will welcome it. Nobody wants uncertainty in this region,” said Morcha spokesperson and Kalimpong MLA Harka Bahadur Chhetri.

The Mamata Banerjee-led state government wants immediate election to the GTA. The Morcha, one of the signatories to the GTA agreement, wants the territorial jurisdiction of the new set-up to be settled first before the polls. The Morcha wants Gorkha dominated areas of the Dooars and the Terai to be made part of the GTA, a demand that is opposed by most plains outfits. The government, which has appointed a committee to look into the Morcha demand, wants the GTA elections to be held in the current DGHC area. According to the state government, any additional territory can be added later and the polls for those areas then held.

In the Lok Sabha, Jaswant Singh thanked the Centre and the Bengal government for forming the GTA and said it was the first step towards achieving Gorkhaland, a claim that is made frequently by the Morcha.

“The territorial administration is the first step towards the achievement of Gorkhaland. They cannot jump to Gorkhaland so let this Gorkhaland administration (GTA) be built up,” said Singh, welcoming the GTA.

The BJP leader’s comment created a furore in the House with Left leaders Basudeb Acharia and Gurudas Dasgupta seeking clarification on whether Jaswant Singh favoured the division of Bengal and the creation of a new Gorkhaland state.

Jaswant Singh said he was not suggesting anything while pointing out that it (Gorkhaland) was a very sensitive issue and should be handled with care.

“It is a highly sensitive issue. About 175,000 of them (Gorkhas) are in uniform. I am not suggesting a bifurcation of Bengal... I am not recommending (bifurcation),” Jaswant Singh replied.

He then went to raise the issue of Gorkhas being divided into tribals and non-tribals and sought a “start-up fund”.

“Some Gorkhas have been granted a tribal status; others have not been granted. I appeal to the government not to divide the Gorkhas into tribals and non-tribals. If some Gorkhas are tribals, then others should also be tribals,” he said.

He appealed to the finance minister for assistance for the region.

“I know the strains on the exchequer. But please understand that after the difficulties of 30 years that Darjeeling has suffered, they require a start-up fund. Please consider that sympathetically,” he said.(Telegraph)
