Gorkha leader Madan Tamang killed | All India Gorkha League President and active Gorkhaland proponent Madan Tamang was killed allegedly by Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) supporters in Darjeeling on Friday. According to sources, Tamang, who led the anti-GJM front in the Darjeeling Hills, was hit with
a kukri (long knife used by Nepalis) at around 9.30 a.m. Meanwhile, a shutdown
has begun in the three Darjeeling Hill sub-divisions of Darjeeling, Kalimpong
and Kurseong after the incident. Vehicles in Darjeeling went off the roads, while
shops and markets were closed. Tamang, a vocal opponent of the GJM, recently opposed
the GJM's stand on an interim set-up for Darjeeling Hills and demanded Gorkhaland
instead. |
