Sikkim To Sue Bengal For 60,000 Crores Over Gorkhaland Agitation: Sources

 




PTI | Gangtok | Jul 6:Sikkim has reportedly decided to file a case against the West Bengal government at the Supreme Court, alleging heavy loss of revenue because of the agitation for a separate Gorkhaland.
Sources say the Sikkim government assesses that it has lost around Rs 60,000 crore over the past 32 years because of the statehood protests.
The report emerges a day after Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Chamling strongly condemned recent attacks on Sikkim-registered vehicles at Siliguri in West Bengal.
"The people of Sikkim did not merge the state with the Indian union to become a sandwich between China and Bengal," Mr Chamling said at a public function.
The attacks started after the Chief Minister supported the Gorkhaland demand and also wrote to Home Minister Rajnath Singh calling it a "justified long pending demand" of the people of the Darjeeling hills.
Mr Chamling asked people not to panic over any talk of scarcity of food and essential commodities because of the blockades.

Netaji Subash Chandra Bose's relative to mediate to end Darjeeling impasse

Netaji Subash Chandra Bose's relative Chandra Bose is all set to mediate between the Centre, State and the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) to end the Darjeeling impasse. He has already initiated talks with Bimal Gurung and the Centre. There has been a buzz doing the rounds that an interlocutor could be appointed by the Centre to resolve the Darjeeling impasse. During the 28 month long bloody agitation spearheaded by the Gorkha National Liberation Front for Gorkhaland in the 1980s, journalist Inderjit Khullar had been appointed by the Centre as an interlocutor. He later on went on to become the Member of Parliament from Darjeeling. When questioned on this, Chandra Bose, talking to Oneindia, stated "I don't know whether I am the interlocutor or not. Time will tell. However the Union Home Ministry has asked me to mediate in the Darjeeling issue." He said that the offer to him to mediate was not in the capacity of BJP Vice President, West Bengal, but...
