Kalimpong, March 25: The Janamukti Secondary Teachers’ Organisation has threatened to file a defamation suit against urban development minister Asok Bhattacharya, reports our correspondent.

The minister had accused the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha of demanding Rs 2 crore from hill schools in a meeting on March 1. The Morcha-affiliate challenged Bhattacharya to prove his allegation.

The meeting at Gorubathan between the Morcha and the school heads had been called to work out the admission modalities of the students from the Dooars in the hill institutions, the JSTO said.
