May 6: The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha today accused the Bengal government of trying to derail the tripartite talks by suggesting that all stakeholders in the Darjeeling hills and the Dooars and Terai should be invited to the meeting. Morcha general secretary Roshan Giri said: “The Bengal government is trying to derail the talks by these suggestions. Only the Centre, the state government and the Morcha were stakeholders during the last five rounds and the same must continue.” Giri refused to reveal whether the Morcha would refrain from attending the meeting if other parties were invited. “We are discussing every aspect. We have a meeting scheduled at Sukna on May 8,” he said, indicating that the party could announce its decision then. The Morcha trade union has asked the workers in tea gardens in the Terai to attend the Sukna rally and not to work on that day. Observers believe that the Morcha might even take drastic steps if other parties are invited, resulting in the discussions getting derailed. “Given the conflicting stand of the state government and the Morcha on territorial issues, there is a strong possibility of the entire talks on the set-up getting derailed,” an observer said. The Morcha has been demanding that not only the entire Darjeeling district, including Siliguri with its predominantly Bengali population, but also the Terai and parts of the Dooars where the Gorkhas are in a majority be included in the interim set-up. The geographical boundary of the interim set-up would define the shape of Gorkhaland, the Morcha had said. According to sources in the state government, there are other political formations and groups that have a significant presence in the hills and in the Dooars and Terai, and it is only fair that their views be factored in. During the first round of secretary-level talks, the Morcha had taken an all-party delegation to Delhi. However, the party was unhappy with the “behaviour” of the delegates, particularly the ABGL’s charge that it was not consulted while preparing a document which was submitted then. Following the ABGL allegation, Gurung had publicly said that “the chapter of the all-party delegation has been closed”. Madan Tamang, the ABGL president, today said it was right on the part of the government to invite all political parties. “ The Centre and the state had once made the mistake of ignoring the other parties before inking the Sixth Schedule bill and the result is there for every one to see.” Tamang, however, said the ABGL could not publicly announce the stand that it would take in the tripartite meeting unless “a written invitation is issued”. However, all parties in the hills are against the Morcha decision to accept the new set-up. They have alleged that the Morcha has betrayed the Gorkhaland cause by accepting the interim set-up. Gobind Chhetri, the organisational head of the CPRM that has the second largest following in the hills after the Morcha, said his outfit would insist only on Gorkhaland. “We want the Centre to listen to our demands and any other decision might trigger off unrest in the area,” Chhetri said. Other stakeholders like the GNLF and the Akhil Bharatiya Adivasi Vikas Parishad refused to disclose much, saying they had not been approached formally yet (by the state). “But we will not budge from our stand. Parts of the Dooars and the Terai cannot be included in the interim set- up proposed by the Morcha,” said the state president of the Parishad, Birsa Tirkey. Nagaland duo held with fake currency  News From Telegraph

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Siliguri, May 6: Two residents of Dimapur, one of them an employee of the Nagaland government, were arrested from New Jalpaiguri station last evening with fake currency with a face value of Rs 80,000. Officials of the Siliguri division of the customs, which, along with the directorate of revenue intelligence, had raided the Kanchenjungha Express said the fake notes had been brought from Bangladesh and were collected from Malda. “The arrested have been identified as Nepfusalu Rose, an employee of the animal husbandry department of Nagaland, and Biswajit Mushahari, associated with a church in Dimapur,” said S.K. Das, the commissioner of customs, Siliguri, at his office today. “Based on specific information, we had raided the Guwahati-bound Kanchenjungha Express at NJP. The two were arrested from S-4 compartment in which they were travelling in Berths 27 and 28,” Das said. He added that the fake currencies were in the woman’s bag. “When we wanted to search her luggage, she was reluctant. But later she relented and the counterfeits were recovered from her possession — 160 notes in denominations of Rs 500.” Preliminary interrogations have revealed that the two had stayed in a hotel on Station Road in Malda yesterday. They had collected the fake notes from two local persons and then boarded the train. “We have got the names of the two who had handed over the notes to them. But whether they (the arrested duo) were just going to deliver the currencies or were members of an organised racket (in which they had greater roles), we are yet to find out,” he said. According to sources in the customs department, the fake Indian currencies are smuggled in from Bangladesh through the north Bengal corridor. The India-Nepal border is another common route for the smuggling of counterfeits. “Although the duo said this was their first offence, we are not ruling out the possibility of their greater role in the racket,” a source said.
