Mamata accuses centre of vendetta politics over Gorkhaland
Kolkata: Days after Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde meets Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) leaders, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday accused UPA government of indulging in ‘vendetta politics’. Banerjee also accused the Central government for creating unrest in the Darjeeling hills by giving oxygen to the (GJM) leadership which is carrying an intensified separatist stir in the state’s Darjeeling hills.
A GJM delegation on Tuesday met Shinde and later claimed that the home minister has assured it of tripartite talks to resolve the Gorkhaland issue.
Banerjee warned both the central government as well as the GJM against disturbing peace in the Darjeeling hills.
“Just for the sake of electoral and political benefits those who are indulging in vendetta politics, the people of Bengal will give them a befitting reply. Hooliganism will not be allowed. It is not the solution to any problem,” she added.
