Gorkhaland party suspends fast-unto-death for two days

December 19th, 2009 - 11:49 pm ICT by IANS ( 3 comments )

P. Chidambaram Kolkata, Dec 19 (IANS) The Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM), which has been conducting a fast-unto-death agitation for carving a separate Gorkhaland state out of northern West Bengal, Saturday suspended the stir for two days following the central government’s appeal.
“We’ve withdrawn our fast-unto-death programme in view of union Home Minister P. Chidambaram’s appeal to GJM activists,” party general secretary Roshan Giri told IANS from Darjeeling over the phone.

He said the GJM had withdrawn the hunger strike and would wait for the next two days till the Dec 21 tripartite meeting on the Darjeeling hills.

“If the dialogue yields no positive result we will again go on a fast-unto-death protest from 11 a.m. Dec 22,” Giri said.

Altogether, 105 GJM activists went on a fast-unto-death protest at five different locations in the hills and the plains Dec 11 demanding a separate state.

The GJM has been spearheading a movement for Gorkhaland, besides opposing special status for the hill’s governing body, the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC).

The stir seems to have got a fillip after the central government gave the go ahead for initiating steps for a Telangana state to be carved out of Andhra Pradesh.

The central government in 2005 offered the Sixth Schedule status to the Gorkha National Liberation Front (GNLF)-led DGHC, ensuring greater autonomy for the governing body.

The GJM organised twice indefinite shutdowns twice in the hills last year and once in the run-up to the Lok Sabha polls this year, severely hitting tea, timber and tourism - the bread and butter of the region.

    1. Gorkhaland’s Big Guy Goes Mad: Bans all mobile,drinks ,bike & girlfriends :
    2. Darjeeling Talks will fail & Big Guy busy with robotic research covert operation
    By Ashok Gurung, 10 th mile, KPG
    Funny though if you READ THIS AND YOU WILL KNOW THE BANNED REASONS for bans in Gorkhaland:
    Kabir said : “God is the breath of all breath” …so much is true for Big Guy . He rules Darj. He does and will do. Like SG thought he had achieved immortality and he did… Did he ???? .
    Let me start this with a prayer from Upanishads of a suffering individual –
    “asato ma sad gamaya ; tamaso ma jyotir gamaya;mrtyor ma amrtam gamaya ”
    meaning”
    Lead me from the unreal to the real,
    Lead me from darkness to light,
    Lead me from death to eternal life
    “The prayer seems out of context but everyone one in Darjeeling needs to pray as ……..
    Big Guy has already said ” Riste me mein sabka BAAP lagta ho” meaning he has FATHERED entire Darj-gorkhas..
    WOW…did we men give him the right. Or he is the next John Abraham of Darjeeling…
    Women find him UNRESISTABLE or he cut down all RESISTANCE to pieces ….
    I also heard that BIG GUY chases husbands away and keeps his booty under lock and key in Lotus House , Ten Mile,kpg…rumours ha ,I hate to write rumours….
    Now time for the some pieces of juicy RUMOURS ( please donot take them seriously but you can if you want though with your own substantiation and investigation. THIS IS WHAT I HEARD WHEN I was drinking RAKSI in a den in 10 th mile Kpg…we have a fine ward protector – BJ – Blaw Joob
    BG has lost his head and need to be sent to NE Best Mental Asylum and this is why……

    1. The KPG Lotus House Confidential Experiment:

    Big guy …BG & CC…not the one u are thinking of , I repeat, haha, embarked on a new kind of experiment in a “Lotus House” in 10 th Mile in KPG to create a new kind of “ROBOTIC Comfort Women” . GROUND BREAKING REASEARCH ON robotics using videos and blackmail, murder threats…this are all ISO certified methods for robots by NASA
    His LGP was losing steam and he wanted to keep their morale high by giving them good food, lodging and dharabahik and robots for physical comforts as morale steriod for gunda gardi.
    Now you know the reason why some LPG has refused to get married ever again….they want a share in the action..hahaha

    2. Project Success & Bj Promotion:

    The project ” ROBOT Comfort Women for LPG” was a success in the initial days and you can check his old photos in media where he is always smiling and grinning ear to ear whenever he visits KPG. BG like to test the ROBOT himself right and left and everything ..you know what…..IMAGINE
    The Project Director BJ was promoted…. But someone was watching , BG has enemy in every house only he does not know and was recorded for posterity in a live GIG dancing in underwear.Dashain means celebration…hahahahehehe …danced like a snake…

    3. Too Much Drinking & Live Tv & Doomsday :

    Initially, all the prime time was reserved for BG but the specimen robot was so ATTRACTIVE that BJ and group could not take their hands off. One night they got DRUNK, THEGO you know…lost control and land in the lotus house without appointment and too many appointments in short time.. and poor guys were caught LIVE doing SALSA with the robot…
    BJ was actually the blaw job , he blew the job apart…..there was mechanical failure in the robot

    4. Big Guy GOES MAD…….what he does…..

    a) BG GIVES RED ENVELOPE - He is handing AIDS protection devices in brown envelope this days ….
    b) BG BANS ALL DRINKING - So that no one touches his specimen again and do not do something silly or spill the truth drinking too much…
    c) BG BANS TALKING – BG is scared that entire Darj will recieve MMS ( Multi Media Message ) of his live gigs so bans all talking…
    d) BG BANS RIDING – BG is scared that Amra Bangali will come in BIKES and play the GIG live in DUMB CHOWK so no BIKE.
    e) BG BANS HAND HOLDING – BG is in love and he does not want anyone to hold his specimen hand so “BANS ALL HAND HOLDING”
    f) CHECKS VEHICLES – LPG check for bombs like CID, CBI and police in each vehicle entering Darjeeling, tight security against any ASSAMI ….. ha
    What He Will Do Next :-
    a) POLICE OUT : Throw out all police and banga from Darj so that no one knows of his GIG…that way there will be no investigation or snooping dogs around darjeeling .haha
    b) INTERNET & Media OUT :Ban the INTERNET and all..we can view the GIG in siligri though and chori ka CD from ….You will be experiencing a lot of broad-band disconnection becasue LPG will pull out the cables in places for security..
    c). BAN THE MEDIA: Media wala be careful …you will only write or what BG says and will not write or air anything else
    d). TOTAL XENOPHOBIA: Declare that no OUTSIDER should come to Darjeeling….You can close all schools, hotels and eat grass and live and wear barks that is what is going to happen
    e). FATHER THE GORKHA-DARJ : Declare himself the “OFFICIAL BAAP” of entire Darjeeling as the most responsible man…poor gorkha men…He has really become the father of the nation thru non-violent means ….
    Now you all know the reasons both right and wrong ……Put locks everywhere …LPG will come and BJ will blow your home apart
    BE CAREFUL…. BUT Still….CHEERS ….STOCK UP YOUR RAKSI…CELEBRATE YOUR IMPOTENCY
    Better still let us all get the book on “HELEN OF TROY” who destroyed TROY
    How long will Darjeeling bear the MAD MAN is open to DEBATE…..

    Gorkhaland is our only Dream .Thats very nice of being ban for alcohols and some other thing.But its not enough to check vehicle on the road.But the main thing that destroying our society is LOCAL RUKSY that we can easily get in our villages.most of the villagers are have lots of ruksy in the form of sadness and darkness for their childrens and family.we must ban for sailing and buying of ruksy in our village.it will solve half of our problems.jai gorkha

    Richen,
    There are times when you need to think of BILL CLINTON & TIGER WOODS - Great Guys..

    I wish well for Gorkhaland but the moral fabric of Gorkhaland needs to be strong and not in the hands of a GUNDA.

    Gorkhaland has a very high no in porn these days and who is to blame - BG -get your eyes checked
    Ashok
