Posters come up in hills threatening GJM, others

Some posters cropped up in Darjeeling town today threatening both GJM and other hill parties of dire consequences if they "went on exploiting the Gorkhaland sentiment".
"If any party and their leaders indulge in a drama over the Gorkhaland demand, they will have to pay with their lives. We are ready not only to take bullets but spray them if required," the Nepali language posters, bearing the name of one 'Krantikari Mukti Sena' warned.
Darjeeling SP Kunal Agarwal said, "We have come to know about the posters but have not identified the outfit."
The poster named both the ruling Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) and opposition parties All India Gorkha League (AIGL), Communist Party of Revolutionary Marxist (CPRM) and the Gorkha National Liberation Front (GNLF).

In another poster, all of which surfaced in the hill towen hub Chowkbazar area, the Sena vowed to shed blood to realise demand for a separate state.
The outfit, whose indentity could not be ascertained, further blamed the GNLF for compromising on the Gorkhaland demand by accepting the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC).
Commenting on the posters, AIGL general secretary Pratap Khati said, "It is the work of frustrated youths who have been encouraged as there is no law and order in the Hills," an AIGL leader said. The GJM said the posters werenot worth taking note of and commenting.

"It (posters) may be a tactic to threaten us. Such things should be treated with contempt," said Roshan Giri, the GJM General Secretary.
