GCPA plan for indefinite hunger strike
The Greater Cooch Behar People's Association (GCPA) may go for an indefinite hunger strike in Cooch Behar once again. The plan is now under consideration of the GCPA leadership. It may be recalled here that violence occurred in connection with the GCPA's fast-unto-death programme three police personnel and two GCPA supporters had to die a few years ago in Cooch Behar.
Prior to the recent state Assembly elections in Cooch Behar, the GCPA came out against the election process and campaigned against it. During their agitation they organised demonstrations, submitted memorandums to the district magistrate and the superintendent of police. They circulated posters at different places in the district and the police had to nab many of them for their activity. They organised their 'no vote' movement at places like Dinhata, Tufanganj, Cooch Behar Sadar and Natabari. But, the election has passed over peacefully ignoring their 'no vote' call.
It is learnt from GCPA sources that they may start a fresh movement after publication of poll results. A spokesperson of the GCPA says that it is illegal and unconstitutional to hold Assembly election of West Bengal in Cooch Behar that was a princely state before its merger with India. According to the agreement by which Cooch Behar was merged with India it was to be treated as a 'C category' state but ignoring the agreement it was merged with West Bengal and was converted as a mere district. The people of Cooch Behar never accepted it and so they will start a fresh movement to get the agreement implemented properly, the GCPA spokesperson said. As a part of their proposed movement they may start indefinite hunger strike, she added.

no time for GCPA, seen enough of their ludicracy. they are far from ground reality
GCPA movement is quite irrelevent at the present situation. The leaders of the GCPA have to need self development.They have already lost their support among original coochbehary,the results of the recent election will be cleared the matter.Blackmail the government to fulfil the demand and the practice of fasting unto death is unconstitutional.Let us recall the last speech of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar in the Constituent Assdmbly on Nov. 25,1949,which stated that unconstitutional methods like Satyagraha must be abandoned when Constitutional methods are available.
The leaders of the GCPA want to be another Anna Hazare.They are really laughing-stock.
the rest of bengal is laughing ....please GCPA leaders stop this joke
thanks MR. Manash, but I think GCPA has more logical aspects than GJMM( gorkhas),are we severe on GJMM as we are in case of GCPA ?
the gorkhas lighted up public property worth crores but was Gurung arrested?Didn't pay electric and phone bill but didn't streets of hills glittered? Do you have the guts to do what you do with GCPA?
if there is nothing to do with then why central cheif secratary v.k Duggal then and g.k Pillai now letting it sustain? Why dont they come up with the truth and uproot the bone of contention?
what darjeeling couldn't,resisting the GJMM,can the people of coochbehar do that this time? stoop this GCPA, they have no agenda of development..the only agenda is MILJUL KE KHAO"
