Jalpaiguri: Hills outfits across political camps have long been seeking Scheduled Tribe status for 11 “left out” Nepali communities. They now want the BJP-led government at the Centre to deliver.
Representatives of GNLF, Communist Party of Revolutionary Marxists (CPRM), All India Gorkha League (AIGL) and others, who met Union home minister Amit Shah in Delhi recently, expect a decision ahead of the Bengal assembly polls.
They fear that Gorkha leader Bimal Gurung, who has switched loyalty and is supporting chief minister Mamata Banerjee, will corner BJP and its allies on the ground that the state government had sent a favourable recommendation to the Centre six years ago.
The letter states that the commission received a complaint from one Prasoon Masar, a tribal rights activist from Mahisagar of Gujarat, who alleged that the Gujarat ATS has illegally kept Kachhap in custody by filing a fake first information report (FIR) and subsequent fake chargesheet in the case.
Kachhap (33), a native of Dorbanda in Ranchi of Jharkhand was arrested from Mahisagar on July 24 along with two other workers Samu Oreya and Birsa Oreya, both natives of Jharkhand and residing in Vyara taluka of Tapi for allegedly “trying to instigate the local adivasi community towards violent uprising against the state government”.
