The Akhil Bharatiya Gorkha League (AIGL) has demanded provisioning of protection for all the witnesses and immediate arrest of all the accused in the Madan Tamang Murder Case.
Following the CBI Chargesheet, the AIGL top brass met at their Darjeeling office.
Speaking to the press, AIGL General Secretary Laxman Pradhan said, "we welcome the chargesheet filed by the CBI... and we are thankful to everyone who made this possible... justice should be done and all those involved must be made to face the consequences of their crime."
Senior AIGL Leader Pratap Khati saidm "we are very happy with the chargesheet, as through this action CBI has restored peoples faith in judicial system of our country..."
Demanding protection for the witnesses, Mr. Khati said, "all those people who are a witness to this crime need to be given protection by the administration, as all those accused are highly influential and can leverage their position to cause the witness to change their statement."
Mr. Khati further added, "CBI must have solid prima facie evidence on the basis of which they have filed the chargesheet, so all those accused need to be arrested immediately, as the can influence the witness... and given the fact that those accused have a history of having done so... they need to be arrested immediately."
Speaking on the existing good relations between GJM and BJP, and how that could influence the case, Mr. Khati said, "we were fearful that the government would not allow for the chargesheet to be filed... but they didn't interfere in the process... it is indicative of the fact that the current PM Narendra Modi is not like other PMs... for us it is a small evidence of his sincerity... he could have intervened, but he didn't... so we are beginning to believe that the current government respects the rule of the law... and that they will not intervene in this case... and will allow justice to prevail."
Bharati Tamang, AIGL Chief and wife of Late. Madan Tamang, said, "the murder of Madan Tamang was in fact the murder of democracy in the hills, if he gets justice, then the democracy in the hills will have received justice."
She stated that she has full faith in the judiciary and the judicial process.
