‘Democratic forces must unite’: Tripura Oppn leader Jitendra Chaudhury slams attacks on CPI(M) offices after Bihar poll results
Reacting to the allegations, Tripura Chief Minister and BJP leader Dr Manik Saha that neither he nor his party BJP endorses violence.
Tripura CPI(M) offices attacked following Bihar poll results; Leader of Opposition Jitendra Chaudhury calls for democratic forces to unite against violence. (File) Amid reports of attacks on the offices of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Tripura soon after the announcement of the Bihar poll results, CPI(M) Politburo member and Leader of Opposition in the state, Jitendra Chaudhury, said democratic forces must unite against such violence.
“Soon after the Bihar poll results, BJP-backed miscreants started attacking the Opposition, especially the CPI(M). One of their party members even publicly said that if the CPI(M) organised any programme, its members will be attacked and taught a lesson,” Chaudhury told reporters in Agartala on Sunday.
Condemning the attack on the CPI(M) offices, the Sabroom MLA said, “The victory in Bihar may be celebrated, but looting other party offices, setting fire on them here… What kind of deformed mentality is this? In the future, the prime task for all democratic forces will be to confront this jointly,” he said.
