GJM to hold talks with JMM leaders over Gorkhaland issue

A delegation of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha, which is demanding creation of a separate Gorkhaland state in West Bengal's Darjeeling hills, will hold talks with JMM.
"The delegation led by GJM General Secretary Roshan Giri is arriving in Ranchi on March 24 and will discuss strategies during a meeting," JMM's General Secretary Suprio Bhattacharya told PTI here.
"We have been supporting the GJM for the last one year and will continue to back them from Panchayat to Parliament in support of their demands," he said.
Shibu Soren led-JMM has presence in the Dooars and Terai in plains of the Darjeeling hills, where the GJM has been demanding inclusion of Gorkha-dominated pockets in the jurisdiction of the Gorkha Territorial Administration, the hill council in Darjeeling which runs the administration.

"Roshan Giri as President of the All Gorkha Land Union also came to Ranchi to attend an Ajsu Party rally some years ago before the creation of Jharkhand," Ajsu Party's Vice-President Praveen Prabhakar said.
