GJM preparing for armed movement with Maoists’ help: WB Police

Darjeeling (WB), July 23 : The Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) is preparing for a prolonged “underground armed movement” for a separate state and has “hired Maoists” from neighbouring countries as mercenaries to train its cadres, according to senior West Bengal government officials.
“We have inputs from intelligence agencies that Maoists from neighbouring countries have been hired by the GJM. And it may target government properties and senior police and administrative officials so as to further aggravate the situation,” ADG (Law and order) Anuj Sharma told PTI.
The GJM leadership has, however, refuted as “completely baseless” the allegations that it was taking help from Maoists. “These are completely baseless statements. These statements are being made to malign us and derail the democratic movement,” GJM general secretary Roshan Giri said.
