Very disturbing. I hope its not true. Vows are meant to be broken Siliguri, 23 August: Contrary to the vow taken in public by the senior GJMM leader Mr Binay Tamang, that he would resort to fast unto death from yesterday itself and also to the party chief Mr Bimal Gurung asking his arrested party men wherever they were lodged to take to fasting, Mr Tamang and around 80 GJMM activists now lodged in Siliguri correctional home are said to have taken food served by the jail authority today. Mr Tamang was arrested late on Wednesday night somewhere from Sikkim in connection with several old cases. He was brought to Kalimpong court and from there, was sent to the jail in the sub-divisional town yesterday. He was brought to Siliguri special correctional home late last night, according to the jail sources. While being produced at the Kalimpong sub-divisional court yesterday, he pledged in public that he would fast unto death while in jail. When asked whether Mr Tamang is on fast in the jail, the superintendent of the correctional home, Mr Debasis Chakrabarty said all the inmates had taken breakfast and lunch. “Around 425 inmates now lodged here have taken the meal today. No one has denied food,” Mr Chakrabarty said. Around 80 GJMM in activists are currently lodged in the Siliguri special correctional home, he added. The breach to the pledge taken by someone known as a close confidant of Bimal Gurung has assumed added significance in view of the party chief having directed the arrested GJMM men to start indefinite fasting from yesterday. He has repeated the same on his Facebook account even today.
