The party has further mention that the Govt .is aware of the fact that the Gorkha populace of west Bengal has no similarities in the language ,life style ,geography history with Bengal but still we are compelled to live and follow their language and culture .our common populace cannot communicate with the government as the Gorkha people do not follow their Bengali language .

Due to the problem faced by the people of this region the party has requested the government to pass the bill of a separate state of Gorkhaland within the union of India at early date so the Gorkhas could feel that they are equally treated as the rest of Indian.

The memorandum has been sent to UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Home minister Shusil kumar Shinde , Congress Vice president Rahul Gandhi too.

Meanwhile a different memorandum has been sent to Leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj , BJP President Rajnath Singh saying It is pertinent to state that the people of Darjeeling Lok Sabha constituency had voted to Sri Jaswant Singh,the BJP candidate who had promised to give deliver Gorkhaland state but promised made by BJP and Sri Jaswant Singh was just an eyewash to get vote from the region. All India Gorkha League once again humbly requests to your good office to fulfill the promises made before the people of Darjeeling by creating of Gorkhaland State within the Union of India at the early date so that we could feel that we Gorkhas are treated equally as the rest of the Indians.
