For the first time, “The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha today failed to find 21 committed supporters of Gorkhaland who would sit for an indefinite hunger strike in Darjeeling town, forcing the party to ultimately settle for 14 for the day.” The reason: fear of actually having to fast-unto-death.
Morcha president Bimal Gurung's parting words to his followers before he left for Delhi “This is our last battle and we have to win this round. You must all be ready to sacrifice yourselves for the cause for a better future of the coming generation” did not help the cause.
My question: Why didn’t Bimal Gurung join the hunger strike?
