Darjeeling district administration sources said the state government is trying to ensure a safe passage for Ghisingh by holding talks with the Gorkha Janamukti Morch (GJM) leaders. GJM leaders are apparently divided about allowing Ghisingh to enter Darjeeling even after he agreed to step down as DGHC chief.
While one section is in favour of allowing him to return to Darjeeling after he resigned, the other section feels his return will give him the opportunity to regroup his men and foment trouble.
However, a GJM leader said: “Going by the present mood in the hills, people might spontaneously block Ghisingh’s entry.”
Meanwhile, Ghisingh said he will not demand Sixth Schedule status for Darjeeling any more. “It has lost its relevance. I appreciate what the Morcha has done to unify the people of the hills for Gorkhaland,” he said.
