Darjeeling: In the violence-hit Darjeeling hills, a group of women chose to resort to Gandhigiri to carry forward the demand for a separate Gorkhaland.

Carrying Indian flags and posters, the women organised rallies raising slogans, “We want Gorkhaland”, ‘Gandhi ke desh mein, Gandhigiri zindabad’.

“We do not think violence is a solution or can serve any purpose. India got freedom from British rule due to non-violent movement and satyagraha of Mahatma Gandhi. We think if we want to get freedom from Bengal and want our own state, we also need to take the path of non-violence and satyagraha,” Romita Rai, a member of this group, told PTI.

“Every day we take out rallies. Neither do we use any provocative slogans nor resort to any kind of violence. We give slogans demanding Gorkhaland. If we are stopped by the police, we sit on the road and demonstrate peacefully.

We also have plans to organise token hunger strike in favour of Gorkhaland,” Meena Gurung, another member of the group, said.
