This is saddening that the very concept of democracy is mis-understood in the Darjeeling Hills today.

Considering the history of GJJM, they seem to have zero-tolerance of the opposition.

It has been their policy of non-tolerance that has made them chase out all or opposing from Darjeeling Hills.

Just the news today says that GJJM will not allow participation of other parties in the discussion table is reflection of what anarchic ideology GJJM has built up through the so called “Intellectuals”.

Talking of his “Brigade of Intellectuals”, I doubt there capability to give any SANE advise. They are all opportunists and a bunch of hypocrites with limited understanding of the long term benefits of society.

Applying the illogical thinking of Darjeeling GJJM to the Indian polictical scenario, the UPA in power will have to chase out all the BJP,Shiv Sena,Bajrang Dal,(Opposition)out of India by burning and vandalising their houses.

“LK Advani house being burnt down by Opposition is what will happen” IF he had resided in Darjeeling in the current situation?

Where will the BJP go, to Sri Lanka, Bangladesh????, I suppose and live like refugees till the term of UPA is over. Isn’t this absurd and irrational? This might sound democratic to Bimal Gurung though.

Historically, this was done by the Hitler, he treated his opposition like vermins. But that was not democracy, was it?

The fate of opposition is a good reflection of how un-democratic and un-constitutional the GJM agitators are. The houses of any opposing citizen is vandalized and burnt down. They are currently all refugees somewhere in spite of having residence in the Darjeeling Hills.

Any democracy to survive needs a strong opposition to prevent dictatorship. Can we call Bimal Gurung , the Hitler of Darjeeling ??

Another relevant question as a subset of this is “Does Bimal Gurung has the credentials to represent the best interest of Gorkhali”.

If he in reality assuming he totally represents what the people of Darjeeling want, then, he should have no fear of any opposition at all.

Rather, welcome opposition that can correct his dictatorial mistakes.

Talking of his past-what was Bimal Gurung doing for 20 years for Subhash Ghising ? Why was he silent for 20 years?

I do not think he was bidding his time playing solitaire looking for a “Prashant Tamang” to upstage his Godfather.

If Ghising is to blame for the underdevelopment of the hills, so is Bimal Gurung as an Ex- member of GNLF for 20 long years.

What he will do to Darjeeling once he is in power is to be seen. I do not see any good in the future in the hands of a person soiled by Subhash Ghising Corruption for 20 long years.

I hope the rein of guiding “Darjeeling Hills” changes fast or we, Gorkhalis are doomed for ever. , Sabin Rai (2/25/2010 4:08:15 PM)
