Kolkata, Apr 16:
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that as many as three proposals for meetings during the last one and a half years to discuss the issues of people in the hills of Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Kurseong in North West Bengal and the demands of the Gorkhas residing there were rejected by the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee-led government.
He was supposed to address a public meeting at Lebong Ground in Darjeeling on Wednesday morning. However, due to the bad weather, his helicopter could not land there, and hence a seven-minute video message was played at the public rally.
