Biplab Kumar Deb, Tripura’s chief minister, said today that the Left party is trying to plunge the state into lawlessness and that such “political behaviour” will not be tolerated by the people.
In different parts of the northeastern state, clashes between the two rival political parties broke out on Monday. As of now, there have been no reports of any new clashes between the BJP and the CPI-M, according to officials.
For the past three years, Tripura’s peace and prosperity have been accompanied by dramatic improvements in law and order.
CPM should know that such political violence will not be tolerated in our new Tripura. As a result, I will do everything in my power to track down and punish any criminals who violate the law. As long as the BJP-led government is in power, peace will be a non-negotiable tenet,” he said.
A total of 26 CPI-M offices have been vandalised and attacked since Thursday midnight, according to Left Front convener Bijan Dhar. 100 or more members of the left party have had their houses torched, and at least 50 activists have been injured.
“Goons sheltered by the BJP unleashed unprecedented terror.
There’s been an attack on democracy, and the people’s voices have been muffled. “There is no other way to fight this terror other than through democratic movement,” he told reporters in an interview.
Ex-chief minister Manik Sarkar was stopped from going to Dhanpur in Tripura’s Sepahijala district by BJP workers, according to reports Monday. There were six BJP activists and one CPI-M activist injured in the clashes.
After the Democratic Youth Federation of India, the CPI-youth M’s wing, took out a procession in Udaipur, Gomati district, a few of its activists allegedly attacked a BJP activist who was passing by, seriously injuring him.
According to the police, the DYFI procession was attacked in response to an attack by a group of BJP activists who were in the area. In addition, they said that three people were injured, but that their political affiliation has not yet been determined.
