‘The demonstration was organised to express our solidarity with the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) who want a Gorkhaland state in Darjeeling,’ said a statement from the Mizoram Gorkha Front (MGF).
The demonstration was held on a day when tripartite talks were held in Darjeeling Monday between the central and West Bengal governments and the GJM.
‘Gorkhaland is the only solution to protect the identity and life and culture of the Gorkha community in India,’ the MGF said. Mizoram is home to many Gorkhas.
