DARJILING, March 2: Revolutionary Marxist Communist Party (RMCP) has joined hands with Gorkha Janamukti Morcha in the fight for a separate Gorkhaland state within the Indian federation. The RMCP has also decided to launch nationwide protests.

The Bharatiya Gorkha Parishad has also been holding discussions to forge working alliance between the parties in the movement for the last one week. The parties have taken the parishad´s move positively.



“Only a separate Gorkhaland state can solve the problems of Nepali speakers,” said Tara Mani Rai, general secretary of RMCP, adding, “Gorkhaland movement has failed to achieve its goal due to its presence only at the regional level.”



Rai said the decision to launch nation-wide protests was taken to make the Gorkhaland movement a success.
