DARJEELING 22 May 2015 : Teesta Valley Sabhasad, Norbu G Lama arrived in Delhi yesterday to visit the Darjeeling trios who were beaten at Gurgaon last Saturday.
GTA Sabhasad Norbu G Lama was accompanied by Mr. Raunak Singh Ahaluwalia - the son of Darjeeling MP.
On reaching Delhi, the Sabhasad took stock of the situation with the three youths and interacted with those who have helped the three youth.
A GJM spokesperson informed, “We have decided to provide the victims with all kind of financial assistance they need for their treatment. They belong to very poor families and have migrated for employment opportunities… This kind of incident should not happen again,”
Representatives from Gorkha associations based in Delhi are expected to meet Darjeeling MP SS Ahaluwalia and Norbu G Lama today, and with the intention of pressing for the demand to form a Powerful non-political Gorkha body comprising of representatives from all Gorkha communities across India.
Meanwhile, Founder-Trustee of Darieeling Dooars United Development Foundation Mahendra P. Lama, in a memorandum to Union minister of state for home Kiren Rijiju on Friday said the Gurgaon incident had sent shockwaves among the people in Darjeeling and the North East region. According to a DDUDF release, Rijiju assured Lama that he would seek a report from Haryana police and take suitable action.
The residents gathered in front of the police station and raised slogans against the police. They even barged into the police station demanding immediate arrest of the accused, said a local source.
On reaching Delhi, the Sabhasad would take stock of the situation with the three youths who are currently undergoing treatment at the AIIMS Trauma Centre. It may be recalled here that a group of seven to eight persons brutally assaulted Abhishek Rai, Sagar Rai and Dev Kumar Subba of Teesta Valley area over a trivial issue in Nathupur village of Gurgaon district on Saturday night. The incident was triggered after Abhishek threw a packet containing garbage and broken glass from the first floor of his residence into a dustbin kept on the roadside. The packet missed the dustbin with shards of glass hitting some youths, which lead to the ghastly attack.
“The incident definitely had a racial overtone and regional bias. Like a large number of younger generation people living in Delhi and around for studies and livelihood, these three youths from tea gardens of Darjeeling have been there mainly for their livelihood as the living conditions and economic situations in these gardens have sharply deteriorated in the last decade or so. More importantly, these youths have gone to Gurgaon to also contribute in the development process there,” the DDUDF memorandum said.
The incident has once again affected the spirit and enthusiasm of a large number ofpeople from the North East region in Delhi and around. It has once again raised the spectre of racial and regional violence in Delhi and around. “In order to prevent recurrence of such ghastly incidence of violence in future we sincerely appeal to you to ensure the culprits including the house owner and his associates are booked strictly under the rule of law,” the memorandum said.
A section of the police, it said, had allegedly complicated the situation by racial remarks and they, too, should be booked according to law.
