Around 500 members of the Gorkha Janmukti Bhutpurba Sainik Morcha from the hills assembled in Sukna today to mark the second anniversary of the police and CRPF lathicharge on a group of former soldiers at Darjeeling More in Siliguri in 2008.
The gathering in Sukna, 70km from Darjeeling, decided that a nine-member delegation of former soldiers would meet chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee in Calcutta this month to know the fate of the report filed by the one-man inquiry committee that had probed the lathicharge.
“Today being the second anniversary of the police atrocities, we wore black badges in protest and held a meeting,” said Suren Pradhan, the secretary of the Siliguri zone of the Sainik Morcha.
