Telangana: GJM calls indefinite stir in Darjeeling


Darjeeling, July 30 (IANS): Hours after the UPA and the Congress Working Committee endorsed statehood for Telangana, the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) Tuesday announced an indefinite strike in the Darjeeling Hills from Saturday to demand formation of Gorkhaland.

GJM chief and hill development body Gorkhaland Territorial Administration chief executive Bimal Gurung also resigned from his GTA post.

"The UPA has allowed the formation of Telangana. Now we are left with no choice but to intensify our movement for Gorkhaland. Our demand for a separate state is far more older than Telanagana," said GJM general secretary Roshan Giri.
