BHAGOP NATIONAL COUNCIL MEMBERS MEETING 07 to 09 Apr 17 at Lucknow.

Bhagop Zone 4 Report

President zone 4 and vice president BHAGOP Lt col DS Khadka, in the national council members meeting held in UP on 08 Apr 17, briefed the august gathering comprised of members of various state units of BHAGOP on the activities of zone 4 as under:

On assumption of the responsibilities of zone 4, the president visited the state unit of UP BGP at Lucknow in Mar 16. It was a very successful meeting as the executive members of various sub units from Agra, Kanpur, Lucknow, Gorakhpur etc attended the meeting.The president emphasized on the activities that can strengthen the BHAGOP, the only national organisation of Indian gorkhas. They must organise meetings frequently, reach out to the Gorkha community advocating about this organization, organise activities like lectures, competitions, BHAGOP national programmes, liaison with state governing bodies,ministers and local bodies etc to raise the issues of the Gorkhas residing in UP. There is an absolute need of all members of executive bodies of sub units to live in cordial and happy environment, in mutual trust and confidence.The president noticed a sense of zeal and will to work in the members for the organization.

The zone president visited the BHAGOP units of Pathankot and Bucklow on 03 to 4 Nov 17. The Pathankot unit was found active and fairly good attendance of males and females was present there. The president stressed upon the membership drive and more such like activities that can exhibit the existence of BHAGOP at state and central level.This can be achieved if the unit organizes BHAGOP national events like Foundation Day, Shahid Durga Mall balidaan divas, Nepali Bhasha Manyata divas, Environment day, and many such like activities, display banners, distribute leaflets etc.

The visit to Bucklow unit was a bit disappointment as there were hardly any members of BHAGOP and those present showed no inclinations of their future participation. The President requested and advised the participants to activate this unit of BHAGOP in Bucklow as this place is Gorkha populated and can provide strong base for the BHAGOP activities. At that moment, the participants assured to form and reactivate the Bucklow unit, but alas it was not done.

The president could not visit Dharamshala and Jammu units as they showed their inability to organize the meeting, despite my request and insistence.

The Zone 4 meeting of all state units was held in the premise of AIEGWA, Nayagaon, Dehra dun on 31 Dec 16. The BGP units of Pathankot, Dharamshala, UP and Uttarakhand participated. Besides, Sh Munish Tamang, senior vice president, sh Joel Rai, BHAGOP spokes person, sh Navin Limbu , all from Delhi also attended the zone meeting.
The Secretary General Shri Bhupendra Adhikari gave out the organizational points whereas Munish Tamang made us aware about the latest development on Gorkha land and the political stand of all political parties of the Darjeeling Hills.

The state unit reps also gave out their reports and assured to work more enthusiastically and enlist more members. The Dharamshala rep Gen Secretary assured that he shall try and impress upon members of Dharamshala to keep this organization alive and active. But this does not appear to have taken place as evident from their absence from todays event of annual meeting.
The most heartening about this zonal meeting was that there was a good number of participation of women members and a very good strength from UP units.
The zone 4 President Lt col D S Khadka, also brought out some suggestions in the National council meeting.
He said, that the central president along with the working president, the senior vice president and Gen Secretary must visit Bucklow, Dharamshala and Jammu to reinstate the state BGP units. Delhi unit by all means must be formed as the BHAGOP unit at delhi is of paramount importance. The now working president sh Munish Tamang and our national spokesperson sh Joel Rai are delhi based and hence they must motivate a large number of gorkhas living in delhi to join this organization. It is a must. He further said that whenever some speaks out to press and comments that damages the reputation and history of Gorkha contributions to nation must be countered immediately by BHAGOP spokesperson with permission and guidance of the central President.
He further said that the documents prepared on the Indo Nepal Peace and Friendship treaty 1950 must be progressed and submitted to the appropriate ministry of Central govt.

Fund raising for the BHAGOP. Zone 4 president put forth his proposal for creating fund for the BHAGOP central organization. He suggested that the president must apportion some amount to each state unit of BHAGOP and executive members of central organization to contribute for the smooth function of central office and BHAGOP activities.He expressed hope that the proposal would be supported by all in letter and spirit.

He further said that the Gorkha Land issue should remain alive in BHAGOP agenda and BHAGOP should create an atmosphere to get along all political parties and civil societies and form a united forum to pursue the demand of Gorkha land.

He mooted a proposal that all state units must celebrate Nepali Bhasha Manyata divas in a big way on 20 Aug this year within their capability as it completes 25 years of recognition in Indian constitution.The state unit of uttarakhand is organizing this occasion and request some participation of other state units to make the celebration a national event of BHAGOP.

He also advised the delegates to be internet friendly for better and effective passage of information.

BHAGOP takes up NRC ISSUE

PARISANGH TAKES UP NRC PROBLEM IN ASSAM WITH REGISTRAR GENERAL OF INDIA IN DELHI.

ShrI Nityanand Upadhyay (BGP Assam state president & member of Joint Action Committee on NRC), Shri Guman Limbu (Convenor, BGP Delhi), and Dr Munish Tamang (BGP National Vice-President) met the Additional Registrar General of India at the RGI office in New Delhi on Friday, July 1, 2016.

They presented a detailed case on the problem faced by Gorkhas, particularly those in Jagun area under Margherita Constituency in Tinsukia, Assam.

The authorities have failed to provide legacy data to people of this area thus seriously compromising their status in the ongoing National Register of Citizens (NRC) exercise in Assam.

They had a detailed discussion and have been assured that immediate attention will be given to this important issue. The BGP delegation was also assured that the matter would be placed before the Supreme Court-appointed Judges Committee and also before Shri Hajela, the Supreme Court-appointed coordinator for NRC.

A memorandum jointly signed by Shri Nityanand Upadhyay and Shri D B Chhetry, IAS (retd), chief coordinator, Gorkha Joint Acton Committee on NRC, was submitted to the government officer.
