CPM leaders in the Darjeeling hills continue to be at the receiving end of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha's anger, K.B. Wattar from Bijanbari being the latest in the line of fire. Morcha supporters have been demonstrating in front of Wattar's house since yesterday, demanding that he either quit the CPM, which is against a separate state, or leave the hills. "The Morcha harps on democracy, but at the same time its members intimidate our leaders in the hills,' Bengal urban development minister and CPM MLA Asok Bhattacharya said here today. "Hundreds of Morcha supporters have confined Wattar and his family members to the house and have disconnected water and cable TV lines. They have threatened the family with social boycott and have demanded that Wattar leave the hills if he cannot resign from the CPM,' the minister said. Earlier, CPM leaders like the party district secretary S.P. Lepcha, who lives in a garden near Darjeeling town, and Tara Sundas from Kalimpong had to face the brunt of Morcha protests. Their houses had been gheraoed and they were told to leave the CPM. Morcha leaders had then admitted that the incidents had taken place, but branded them "people's protests, which had nothing to do with the hill party'. Wattar, a CPM district secretariat member and president of the party's farmers' front, Paschimbanga Pradeshik Krishak Sabha, said over the phone that around 300 Nari Morcha supporters surrounded his house at 11am yesterday. "They demanded that I quit the party. Water and cable connections to my house were snapped. The demonstration continued till 2pm.' This morning, too, Morcha supporters allegedly camped in front of the house. "None of them entered my residence, but intercepted every person who came in, taking note of their identity and the purpose of visiting me or my family. We have to bring water from the roadside taps,' Wattar alleged. According to CPM insiders, a zonal committee meeting of the party convened at Wattar's house a couple of days ago, had angered the Morcha. Darjeeling superintendent of police Rahul Srivastava said there has been no complaints from Wattar. "He told me in the evening that everything had returned to normal, including the water supply,' said the police chief. Roshan Giri, general secretary of the Morcha, denied that any such incident had taken place. "This is just an allegation,' he said.
