Gorkha Janmukti Morcha president Bimal Gurung today threatened to
file a defamation case against Binay Tamang for alleging that he had
tried to kill the rebel party leader, unless the latter came up with
concrete evidence in 10 days.
Addressing his supporters at Deolo
in Kalimpong yesterday, Tamang had claimed that Gurung had made four
attempts on his life and that was why he had accepted the security
offered by the state government.

Told
about Gurung's threat, Tamang accepted the challenge. "What will happen
if it is proved? There are conversations that have been tapped. If we
provide material to the court, he must also be ready to go to jail. I
want him to file the defamation case as early as possible, before the
court closes for Diwali."
Gurung today said: "In fact, Tamang was the one who talked about
undemocratic agitation. During a meeting at Malidhura, he had delivered a
speech saying he no longer believed in Gandhian movement. Soon after
the speech, a Morcha member, Bishal Chhetri, objected to Tamang's
statement saying the party had been formed on Gandhian principles."
Chhetri could not be contacted for an independent verification.
Asked
about the speech in which he had allegedly said he longer believed in
the Gandhian movement, Tamang said: "Only he must have heard the
speech."
The Janmukti Astai Karmachari Sangatan, a Morcha-backed
union of GTA casual employees, today formed a new central committee with
Anil Rai as the president. The new committee has decided to extend
support to the Tamang camp in the Morcha.
