Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) chief Bimal Gurung on Thursday requested West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to initiate a “political dialogue” to end the over two months old impasse in the hills but stuck to his demand for a separate Gorkhaland.
His request came two days after the state government’s announcement of holding talks with the agitating parties on August 29.
Banerjee had said on Tuesday that the state government has accepted the proposal of GNLF, a constituent of the GMCC, for a dialogue and fixed August 29 for the discussion here.
