TIL Desk/National/Kolkata/ Three top West Bengal BJP leaders, including the state unit president Dilip Ghosh, were on Tuesday summoned by the party president Amit Shah for making “unneeded” statement over the Gorkhaland issue.
Besides Ghosh, BJP National General Secretary Rahul Sinha and BJP General Secretary (Organisation) Subrata Chatterjee will meet Shah in Delhi on Tuesday evening. A party insider claimed that Shah was annoyed with the leaders for making statements to the media that they are not in favour of separate Gorkhaland. He felt that the statement from them was ‘not necessary’ when the Hills are burning.
He reportedly discussed the matter with senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya and Ram Lal (BJP General Secretary – Organisation). On June 24, Dilip Ghosh had said that they are not in favour of formation of states on the basis of any linguistic group or community.
“Our stand is very clear that we are not going to support separate Gorkhaland. If we agree on Gorkhaland, then what will happen to Kamtapuris, Rajbanshis. What will happen to Assam where a large number of Gorkhas are present,” he had said.
