Gorkhaland interlocutor quits

The retired officer has been in talks with the GJM Gorkha Janmukti Morcha and the central and state governments over the past two years and has submitted his report and views to the Home Ministry after consultation with stakeholders.

Elections have now been called and nothing further can be done. Whatever I have done so far is available with the ministry. During elections my hanging around would be a waste, Madan said.

The interlocutor said he was happy with the support he got from the ministry on the talks and said the Centre had been positive on the whole matter. This is the closest I could have brought them, the former officer,who has been associated with the Gorkhas during his service days,said.
