The Sikkim assembly on Tuesday passed a resolution supporting the formation of a separate Gorkhaland state. The resolution, moved in the House by chief minister Pawan Chamling, was a “token of thanks” to the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) for keeping NH 31A open during prolonged bandhs in the Hills, and a message to the West Bengal government that it hadn’t shown enough interest in preserving Sikkim’s lifeline. Chamling said he would send copies of the resolution to the Centre and the Bengal government. The formation of Gorkhaland, the resolution said, was “the ultimate and permanent solution” to ensure “peace, security and development of Sikkim”.
