Mamata turns attention on KLO

With peace returning to Darjeeling after the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha called off its agitation for Gorkhaland,Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today turned her attention to a militant organisation in the adjoining plains.

Referring to the Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) in North Bengal,Banerjee said the violence in the name of movements would not go down well with the people “The KLO is raising money in the name of such agitation,” she said at the programme where she distributed land deeds to the poor.

“I have also organised many movements for the cause of the people. But people don’t support any agitation which

cause bloodshed,” Banerjee said while referring to KLO. The KLO was formed in mid-1990s with the objective to carve out a separate Kamtapur state comprising parts of West Bengal and Assam.
