GANGTOK, Oct 7 – The Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangh, an apex body of Gorkhas has condemned the killing of seven Nepalese-speaking people in Sonitpur district of Assam and criticised the Tarun Gogoi Government for failing to give them security.
“The BGP condemns the killing of innocent Nepalese-speaking people by the NDFB militants in Sonitpur district because the victims did not pay extortion,” BGP Working President CK Shrestha told reporters here.
He said that the Gogoi Government could not escape its responsibility for the killings as it failed to provide security despite public knowledge about the militant outfits demand for extortion and threats.
The massacre could have been avoided if the State Government had intensified security measures for the migrant people, Shrestha said. – PTI
