Kolkata, Sep 1: Ahead of tabling of a bill seeking more autonomy for Gorkhaland, members of Gorkha Janmukti Morcha met Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee with their list of proposed changes to the proposed law claiming the draft is different from what was promised in the July 18 declaration.
A GJM team, including general secretary Roshan Giri and party MLA Harka Bahadur Chettri met Banerjee, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Partha Chatterjee and Chief Secretary Samar Ghosh to place their demands and objections to the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration Bill, 2011 which is scheduled to be tabled in the state Assembly tomorrow.
The GJM said it has noticed several ‘discrepancies’ in the Bill vis-a-vis the Memorandum of Agreement signed in Darjeeling on July 18 and has asked for necessary amendments before it comes up for discussion.
