Does Bimal Gurung possess any quality of a leader? It is like chewing a stone accepting Bimal Gurung as a leader, who rules upon the people with the help of around 50 criminals.” This was according to an anti-Bimal Gurung leaflet distributed in Kalimpong yesterday. The leaflet has been signed in the name of the ‘Aware Citizens’ and addressed to the people in general requesting them to rise up against Bimal Gurung and Gorkha Janmukti Morcha.
According to people in Kalimpong, an unknown man was seen distributing leaflets to people and shops. The distributer is said to have dropped the leaflet at most of the places. People picked up the leaflets or accepted the leaflets from the man thinking that the leaflet was from a Governmental or a Religious organisation, informing them of some function.
The Leaflet suggests that Bimal Gurung President, Gorkha Janmukti Morcha was an uneducated man and that he was a criminal. The leaflet further alleges that people are not able to understand the true meaning of Gorkhaland and that Bimal Gurung was the only individual who was reaped the most benefits from Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council. The leaflet goes on to allege that Bimal Gurung was the richest of the former GNLF Councillors. The leaflets also hits at the leaders of other political parties and questions Gorkha League, CPRM, Congress (Hills) among other parties’ acceptance of Bimal Gurung as Gorkha’s ultimate leader. Targetting the Journalists and intellectuals in the Hills as being mere ‘Paper Tigers’, the leaflet alleges that the Journalists and Intellectuals knowing fully well that Bimal Gurung an illiterate man with no knowledge of national and international politics can represent the Gorkhas. The leaflet alleges that the journalists and intellectuals knowing this fact fully well still supports him because everyone is out to make a quick buck. Why can’t these intellectuals offer written suggestions to Gorkha Janmukti Morcha? Will Gorkha Janmutki Morcha in turn accept these suggestions. Do the advisors of Bimal Gurung have the capacity to have pass a Gorkhaland Bill in the West Bengal State Legislature? Which, the leaflet suggests can be done by getting the support of anti-Communist legislators.

Does Buddhadeb has any statesman like quality?or has he been hit so hard by Didi that he has forgotten that to protect North Bengal from tottering into a Civil war he has to enforce the rule of law?
It is not about romanticizing and emphasising the cultural differences,and then apologising on every front for the "atrocities we committed".This is the time to unify,find out the common thread and bind them together.High time we stopped saying that we exploited.Time to assert and say that "we were exploited".What will happen to 4 crore refugees who came from the erstwhile East Pakistan,forced to migrate owing to the whims of the national leaders,who rightfully deserve their homeland.They are not illegal migrants but people forced under extereme conditions of rape,destruction,murder and plunder.where is the homeland for them?They have been driven from Assam,the north east and from Bihar,and now from your own Bengal?
Let us remove the cobwebs from our mind.To secure North Bengal from the evil eye,it has to be a fight to the finish.It needs a seperate plank,an indigeneous plank which does not have the usual colours of red saffron and green,but would still need the political steam.
