Political outfits in Darjeeling, barring the GJM, formally rejected the Centre’s proposal for setting up an interim council on Thursday. All India Gorkha League and GNLF (C) that had a meeting with state government representatives on August 3 sent their feedback on the issue of interim council saying that they would not accept interim council. “We want a permanent solution for Darjeeling,” said AIGL leader Dawa Sherpa.
