Darjeeling unrest: Centre puts onus on Mamata for talks with Gorkha protesters hindustantimes.com

The Centre on Sunday appealed for calm in Darjeeling but put the onus on the Mamata Banerjee government for possible tripartite talks with Gorkha protesters demanding a separate state.

“All concerned parties and stakeholders should resolve their differences and misunderstandings through dialogue in amicable environment,” Union home minister Rajnath Singh tweeted, a day after violent clashes between police and supporters of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) left four people dead.

One India Reserve Battalion officer was also stabbed in the clashes which also left 35 other security personnel injured.
