"The indefinite shutdown in the hills will continue. This is our final battle, we'll either achieve Gorkhaland or die fighting for it," Gurung said in a press conference here.
Gurung's comment came ahead of an all-party meeting on July 6 where the newly-formed Gorkhaland Movement Coordination Committee (GMCC) is slated to take a call on the ongoing agitation in the hills. The GMCC has 30 members, representing all hill parties.
The GJM supremo accused the West Bengal government of gross violation of human rights.
"Gross violation of human rights is going on in the hills. The intenet services has been suspended for more than two weeks. We would appeal to the Centre to look into it," he said.
Asked if the GJM is ready for talks, Gurung said, "We have a single point agenda of Gorkhaland and we'll only hold talks if the agenda is a separate state. This is our final battle and we'll not move an inch from our demand.
