Gurung, Tamang, Edwards put in efforts to drum up support from other leaders and form common Gorkha platform
"Hill people have changed their mindset, as the BJP has fooled them, showcasing the Gorkhaland issue as a lollipop in the last three terms. Had the BJP wanted to give them Gorkhaland out of its political will, it could have done it like Jammu and Kashmir where Article 370 has been abrogated. As a result, people have decided to bring in proper development in the Hills by joining hands with the AITC."
Gurung, however, said the two leaders would not be seen in one platform in the coming days, but added that "in politics, anything can happen."
Tamang said that he would not divulge anything about the meeting now, and added that he met Gurung as he was the "guardian here." He also said that there had been a misunderstanding earlier due to political differences, but such misunderstanding was no longer there.
"My family is also happy and there is no fight between me and my wife. Do not spread rumours that I have an affair. If you have any proof, then do come forward with it," he said in the letter.
"I feel bad that my statements hurt the sentiments of several Gorkha brothers and sisters and I sincerely apologise for that," he said in a statement on Saturday.
The ruling party has come up with such an observation two days after a delegation of 10 Morcha leaders of the fugitive leader Bimal Gurung camp, met Union home secretary Rajiv Gauba at North Block in Delhi on Friday.
Mr Tamang, who had gone to Delhi on Saturday, was to attend the programme in the NCUI auditorium and convention centre in South Delhi to mark the day.
