Jitendra Chaudhury once again urges CM to step steps to stop violence

Opposition CPI(M) leader and MLA Jitendra Chaudhury has once again appealed to the Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha to take concrete steps to  stop violent attacks on opposition supporters and ransacking of their party offices.

Jitendra Chaudhury in a letter to the Chief Minister on Wednesday said “on  April 10th, the day a delegation on behalf of the CPI(M) led by former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar met you in your official residence to apprise you about the ongoing unbridle incidents of terror, intimidation, destruction of properties and the attack on livelihood of the opposition supporters.” On the same night the CPI(M) Jirania Sub-Divisional Committee office situated at a ‘Jote’ land at Jirania market was raided by the gangsters with bulldogger. The miscreants broke open the outer grill-fence using the bulldogger to get into the office. Then they took away all the furniture and valuables from inside the office, said Chaudhury in his letter to the Chief Minister.

He also alleged that during raiding the office, the miscreants exploded crackers indiscriminately in the area so that nobody could dare to come out to prevent them.

“While discussing with the CPI(M) delegation as well as in a programme at Bordowali on Tuesday, you expressed your firmness to take police action against these unruly elements. But it seems, the anti-communist terror-mongers inside your party have thrown a challenge against your democratic gesture,” said Chaudhury.

He said that Jirania has been one of the epicenters of ferocious terror since March, 2018. Since then the CPI(M) Sub-Divisional office at Jirania Bazaar was compelled to be closed barring a few days prior to the last Assembly election. ‘Now it is up to you, how you would help us to reopen our Sub-Divisional office at Jiraniq and let the office function without being disrupted by the terror-mongers and in the other subdivisions also the feature of anti-communist backlash is same as in Jirania’.

He mentioned the names of four accused persons including Goutam Paul, Bijan Saha, Swapan Saha and Rathindra Shil, urging the Chief Minister to take legal action against these persons who were involved in the ransacking of CPI(M) party office.

Chaudhury also said that the peace-loving democratic people of Tripura are eagerly waiting to get rid of such unusual situations and are waiting to see the government and the police administration in particular reigns over the miscreants cutting across their political identity and prosecute them under law of the land.
