Tamang's comment after Gurung alleged that some hill leaders were trying to frame him (File)
Amid reports of rifts within the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM), its convener Binay Tamang today said he has no differences with party supremo Bimal Gurung.
Tamang's comment comes in the backdrop of Gurung's allegation that there is a conspiracy by some hill leaders to frame him. "I have no differences with our party president Bimal Gurung. An audio clip was circulated in the media, but it is not clear against whom he has made those allegations. Every decision was taken after the approval of the party's central committee. I don't want to react on whatever my party president has said, but yes some of us have felt insulted," he said
In an audio message on Sunday night, Gurung had warned the leaders that if they discussed with the state government, any other issue other than 'Gorkhaland', they would not be allowed to return to the hills.
With the indefinite shutdown in the Darjeeling hills entering its 76th day, all eyes were set on the crucial meeting convened by West Bengal government at the state secretariat.
Before the meeting, Tamang said, "Even if the talks are fruitful, decision to call off the strike cannot be be announced today. The final decision in this regard has to be approved by the party's central committee."
