GJM Leaders Discuss Unified Gorkhaland Demand and Alternative Autonomy Proposal
Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) leaders convened an all-party meeting in Darjeeling to unify the Gorkhaland demand and related issues. The meeting followed a February discussion with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who reportedly said that a separate Gorkhaland state is not feasible currently but suggested exploring an autonomous arrangement similar to the Bodoland Territorial Council. Participants agreed to form a committee to draft a common agenda and plan further talks involving all Gorkha representatives to present a united position to the central government.
