Paving way for statehood!

It’s not wise to believe Bimal Gurung’s statement(July 19) that GJM has not budged from their demand for separate Gorkhaland state almost with in 24 hrs of signing the tripartite treaty on GTA was made under duress to satisfy the sentiment of the hill people. It’s more so because in the treaty itself it has been put on record the GJM is not parting with their demand for separate statehood. The treaty has, in fact, officially accorded the right to GJM for movement for separate Gorkhaland perhaps in near future. In reality Mamata Banerjee has been able to purchase peace in hills in record time after assuming office. What’s interesting is a section of press has been almost hysteric about this treaty calling it ‘historic’. However, the word ‘Historic’ has lost its gloss due to frequent use. What’s certain our state is to be prepared to face a serious movement for separate Gorkhaland in days to come.
