The Chief Minister took the decision to seek Centre’s help in an emergency meeting held at Rajbhawan in which 30 ministers and delegates, including Chief Secretary Basudeb Banerjee, participated.The meeting was convened following the viol@ent protests across Darjeeling earlier in the day after Mamata announced that Bengali would be compulsorily taught to students up to class 10 in schools.Police vehicles and a government bus were set afire and the police were att@cked with stones and bottles by the GJM protesters.
A protest rally was taken out by the protesters only 100 metres away from the venue of the meeting. The protesters shouted slogans and burnt effigies of the chief minister. The GJM has announced 12-hour bandh against the State government’s move.The GJM has been demanding Nepali as a language instead of Bengali or can accept Hindi, but is str!ctly against the making of Bengali mandatory in all schools across the state.
