GJM Decision to reopen Schools and Colleges from 13 September

Himalayan Beacon
DARJEELING : Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) President Bimal Gurung’s decision to reopen schools and colleges on the 13th of September but to keep everything else closed has caused an uproar among the populace. A student of Darjeeling Government College who commutes to the college daily from Sonada said, “I can only attend my college after traveling on a bus daily. Without transportation I can very well give up my studies.” A Principal of a prominent schools said, “It will not be possible for us to recall our boarders because we will neither be able to provide transportation to them nor offer them food. 

Sushma, a housewife and a mother said, “First of all if the schools and colleges are to be reopened why not from tomorrow why 13th of September. Are they waiting for something to happen by then? Why no transportation? Why the continuation of the strike? It doesn't seem that the strike leads us anywhere because the number of strikes that we have had by now we should have achieved Gorkhaland many times over.”

Post from Bimal Gurung Official facebook Page # 03

Statehood is about our identity, about our right to self-determination. Just as Mamata Banerjee says she is from Bengal, we too want to say we are from Gorkhaland. Its is unconstitutional for Mamata Banerjee to say Bengal cannot be divided. Article 3(a) in The Constitution Of India 1949 clearly says that a new State can be formed by separation of territory from any State or by uniting two or more States or parts of States or by uniting any territory to a part of any State. Mamata Banerjee' statement of Bengal cannot be undivided is unconstitutional as the Constitution of India clearly provides a provision of creating a new state under Section 3(A). No person is above the law or the Indian Constitution. Gorkhaland is a justified and a constitutional demand.
