Darjeeling (West Bengal) [India], January 7 (ANI): Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (Binoy) faction chief Binoy Tamang on Thursday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding constitutional justice for the people of the Darjeeling hills, Terai and Dooar areas of West Bengal.
Tamang in his letter to the PM said, "If we look into the history of Darjeeling and Kalimpong, it directs us to look eastwards of Teesta river of which Kalimpong is also a part. British rule had subjugated Dooars through the treaty of Sinchula with Bhutan on November 11, 1865. Thereafter Britishers occupied Dooars with effect from July 4, 1866."
