Kalimpong : The Gorkha National Liberation Front (GNLF) Kalimpong unit today conducted a general meeting here and has decided to observe the Accord Day this year on August 22. The meeting held at Sham Devi Bhavan in Kalimpong was called to take ahead the party’s political activities and endeavours and also to decide on the Accord Day programmes.
Talking to reporters after a long meeting, the GNLF Kalimpong unit president Maurice Kalikotay said the Accord Day will be celebrated in a grand manner on August 22, as the day marks the constitutional recognition of Gorkhas in the country. “The day is significant as Gorkhas were officially recognised as the citizens of India and therefore we celebrate it as a historically important day for the Gorkha community,” he informed.
“GNLF is a party that will never die. That is why the party has started its political activities again in the hills after it was ousted in 2007,” Kalikotay further claimed.
The meeting today was attended by representatives from a number of ward and sub-ward level committees from across all the eight blocks in Kalimpong.
