Activist Marches to Darjeeling, Demands Resignation Over Gorkhaland
An activist named Bhabesh Bhujel is walking from one town to another to make a point.
He wants the people in charge to quit their jobs because they haven't created a separate state called Gorkhaland.
He started a petition to get people to agree with him.
Now, he's marching and plans to give a letter to the government.
If they don't listen, he will go on a hunger strike, which means he won't eat until they agree.
He is upset because he believes the leaders have made promises but haven't done anything about Gorkhaland.
Activist Bhabesh Bhujel began a symbolic march from Kalimpong to Darjeeling.
Bhujel demands the resignation of Darjeeling MP and Hill MLAs.
The march is to push for the separate state of Gorkhaland.
Bhujel plans to submit a memorandum at Raj Bhavan in Darjeeling.
Bhujel threatened a hunger strike if his demands are not met.
