The positive stance of CM Mamata Bannerjee towards Khambu Rights Movement’s struggle for ST status have pleased the Khambu-Rai community but the Rights Movement leaders are resolute to continue the fight till the central government comes up with positive assurances on the matter. Bannerjee’s assurance that she would request the centre to look into the demand has added energy to the struggle said the Rights Movement leaders while also expressing thankfulness towards the CM.
Responding to Bannerjee’s statement Rights Movement spokesperson Sandip Khambu said, “Chief Minister’s assurance to help us in our struggle has made us glad. We expect positive initiatives from her and we are optimistic we will soon be given justice.” He added the organization also welcomes GJM chief Bimal Gurung’s statement urging the communities demanding ST status to be optimistic towards CM’s assurances. He however clarified the movement will continue in the current intensity.
