"Even the Hottest Sun, Must Set" - R B Rai [CPRM]
The Communist Party of Revolutionary Marxist (CPRM) organized public meeting was supposed to be a regular affair till three days ago, but with the GJM top brass getting implicated in the Madan Tamang murder case, it turned in to one of the most awaited political rallies in recent memory... and the CPRM leaders didn't pull any punches.
Aiming straight at the GJM and its leadership, CPRM President R B Rai said, "nothing stays forever... those who have played with the emotions of common people need to realize this... even the sun with the fiercest heat, must set when dusk arrives..."
Drawing parallel with the history, Mr. Rai said, "just how Mir Zafar's loss in the Battle of Plassey and caused our entire nation to be enslaved by the British... in the same manner one individual [read Bimal Gurung] has stabbed the hearts of the Gorkhalis of Terai and Dooars to meet his own ends... so all of us need to be careful."
CPRM Youth leader Mr. Arun Ghatani said, "the judicial system may function slowly, but it does function... if Staymava Jayate is the creed of India, then those responsible for Madan Tamang murder case, must be punished for their crimes."
He reiterated the demand for conducting Panchayat elections in the hills, and said, "panchayat elections have not been conducted for the past 15 years, who is responsible for this delay? why are our people being deprived of their rights? why should our people have to suffer due the the incompetence of the current political dispensation? Numerous posts are empty and employment opportunities of our youths have been compromised... who is responsible for this apathy?"
Taking a salvo at the GJM run Municipalities, Mr. Ghatani added, "the GJM Municipalities say they will check building of highrises in the hills... let me remind them... it is their own leaders who are making these highrises all over the hills... who gave them permission? an enquiry needs to be conducted to ascertain those who are responsible for turning Darjeeling into a concrete jungle"
Taking salvo at the lack of basic facilities in the hills, such as drinking water, Mr. R.B Rai said, "today drinking water has become rarer than petrol in Darjeeling... the Balasan Drinking Water project for which Rs 55.88 crores was sanctioned when Dawa Norbula was the MP in 2006, has not yet been completed... will the people of Darjeeling ever get to drink clean water? is the current party in power capable of delivering such basic facilities? I don't think so"
Speaking at the occasion, CPRM Spokesperson Mr. Govind Chettri said, "Those in power [GJM] try to sell small contracts as development... in Gurgaon our people were brutally beaten up... even the police officer used derogatory remarks against our cheli-beti... not even one protest was organized against such a heinous crime by the ruling party..." he added, "Such derogation will never be addressed by stop-gap measure like the GTA... we need Gorkhaland state..."
He further said, "those who said they would bring Gorkhaland by 2010, are today talking about 2017... if they cannot raise the issue, they can surrender..."
Questioning the lack of commitment and sincerity on the part of GJM and BJP towards Darjeeling and Gorkhaland he said, "where is the fact finding committee promised by the Home Minister? where is the MP who was supposed to raise the issues of Municipality, tea garden workers? Both GJM and BJP are only interested in 2016 elections.... and nothing else..." he added.
