‘Congress against division of West Bengal’

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Friday said it was against division of West Bengal.

This was in reaction to the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha’s agitation in the Darjeeling hills seeking a separate Gorkhaland.

Congress spokesman Shakeel Ahmad said the West Bengal Pradesh Congress was against division of the State and that was the view of the All-India Congress Committee too.

He said it was on WBPCC Chief Priyaranjan Dasmunsi’s suggestion that Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee had called an all-party meeting next week to discuss the issue.

Asked whether that was the stand of the government as well, he said he was speaking for the party.
