Mirik, 11th April: Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) Binay faction, leader Anit Thapa addressed the mega rally, under the theme “Change for Mirik”. Thapa along with his supporters and party activists marched from Mirik Bazar and later addressed a public meeting.
It is to be noted, Chairmen of 13 Development Boards, Ex-Service Organization, various organizations of Mirik and party supporters, activists were present during the meeting.
GJM, Binay faction leader, Anit Thapa while addressing the meeting said that Mirik’s political leaders are supporting the one who once burnt down their houses, for their selfish need but he cannot forgive them.
Let’s take a glance at what Anit Thapa said in today’s public meeting:
1. I felt like the people of Mirik could not speak even though they wanted to. I have opened the suppressed voice of Mirik with the slogan of ‘Change for Mirik’. I have come as the voice of Mirik; I have come as your heartbeat;
2. Today’s historic unity meeting is a big slap on the face of the leaders who divided the Gorkhas into castes and sub-communities rather than bringing them all together as one.
3. May our unity always remain. Today’s great achievement is that all the Gorkhas are standing on one platform. It was difficult to bring together all the development boards. But today I have been able to bring representatives of all castes on one platform. I thank them very much. With this, I have dismissed the illusion that Gorkha is broken.
4. The glory of Mirik, Mirik Lake, the tourism is slowly deteriorating. If the people of Mirik wants the glory to return, all must come together.
5. The Thurbu Tea Estate has set up a tea stall in front of the Mirik Lake area, however, no one can enter the premises. I urge the tea estate to open the gate, or else I myself will open it.
