KURSEONG, Nov. 7: To mark the end of the month long 'cultural agitation' of the GJMM, today, the GJMM Kurseong wing organised a huge jhanki, in Kurseong, depicting different aspects related to the Gorkha Community and its demand of separate state. The jhanki proceeded towards Darjeeling.
Meanwhile, they also organised a rally in Kurseong, in which different associations and organisations as well as members of different communities participated in their respective traditional attires.
The jhanki started from the WBNVF ground in Kurseong. It was followed by a total of 7 vehicles depicting various aspects of Gorkha life. The first vehicle with a replica of a pigeon was to symbolise non-violence, democracy and peace. In the second vehicle, the GNLF supremo, Mr Subash Ghising's model was placed, in which, Mr Ghising was labeled as mato bechuwa (seller of the Gorkha dream). Besides, Mr Ghisingh, there was an effigy of the GJMM chief, Mr Bimal Gurung, depicted as trying to free the aspiration of Gorkha Community, ie Gorkhaland, from Bengal. He was shown holding the arms of a girl in shackles and trying to free her.
In the third vehicle, they showed the contribution of Gorkha sepoys, fighting bravely in Kargil war for the protection of the nation. In the fourth vehicle, a model of Parliament was demonstrated, in which, models from different communities of Darjeeling hills were shown demanding Gorkhaland.
