Justice Sen's reccommendation and its aftermath!


Little did GJM think when they agreed to abide by Justice Shymal Sen's recommendations regarding the number of moujas from Terai and Doors to be appended to GTA that Sen might recommend only five mouzas against their demand of 396.They were confident Sen would find at least 150 moujas appendable to GTA.But how did they get such confidence?Justice Sen Committee acted within certain parameters which were supposed to have been endorsed by four members of GJM who were on the Committee.They didn't object to the terms of reference on which the Committe worked at the out set.Nor did they register any note of dissent at any stage of Committee's work.But after the job is finished and results are out the've started clamouring injustice has been meted out to them and they've been duped by justice Sen.They've declared they'd ask the govt not to accept Committee's suggestion and launch movement against the injustice done to them.In view of roaring business in tourism at Darjeeling this time after couple of years perhaps the common people here are in no mood to extend support to the movement of GJM.However, GJM won't relent and they'd gradually rev up their agitation particularly after the tourist season is over at least for their prestige and credibility.So peace and tranquility now prevailing in hills are likely to be disturbed in near future. Now, if the recommendations of Sen Committee were in favour of GJM in that event too problem could take a different turn.The people of Tarai and Doors who are already determined not to concede an inch of their land to GTA would have started agitation.There might be confrontation between Adibasi Bikas Parisad and GJM.Then peace of both hills and plains were seriously disturbed. In fact, the problem of inclusion of Moujas from Tarai and Doors might play spoilsports in successful implementation of GTA treaty that was supposed to have solved problem of hills.GJM are interested in accession of so many Mojas to GTA to expand its territory in size to facilitate their demand for separate state of Gorkhaland in future.So it's unlikely they'd settle for only five mouzas as endorsed by Justice Sen Committee.However,we like to see peace and amity prevailing in hills and planes as well.
