The Gorkha National Liberation Front (GNLF) has raised question regarding the hosting of Gorkhaland Territorial Administration's (GTA) chief executive initiation ceremony at Raj Bhawan in Kolkata.
Talking to the reporters, the GNLF spokesperson, Daya Dewan said “how can an oath taking ceremony of GTA chief executive be organised at the Raj Bhawan in Kolkata.” He pointed out the Raj Bhawan and the Governor are parts of the constitution and officials of an unconstitutional body like the GTA cannot be swore-in by him at the state house.
He further informed GNLF had for long been saying the GTA is an unconstitutional body and have even filed a case against its legitimacy. “As the GTA is unconstitutional, its authenticity is in doubt and begs a lot of question and hence under the circumstances we ponder how the oath was taken at Raj Bhawan when no constitutional amendment has been made on the GTA,” Dewan questioned. There are different cases and disputes against the GTA and so far whatever development has materialized from court it has come in GNLF’s favour, he claimed.
Notably, on 26 December, the GJMM chief, Bimal Gurung in the presence of the state CM Mamta Banerjee was sworn in by the Governor at Raj Bhawan in Kolkata to the post of the GTA chief executive.
Meanwhile, almost all the parties in the hills have criticized Gurung and the state government saying they have betrayed the people of the hills. The GNLF party had even termed the day as a black day for the Gorkha Community. But now, the GNLF party has also raised the question on the legitimacy of hosting the oath taking ceremony of the GTA at Raj Bhawan.
