Agartala, Aug 26 (FD) Tripura Leader of the Opposition and CPI(M) state secretary Jitendra Chaudhury on Wednesday warned that those allegedly involved in attacks on the party’s offices and workers would not be spared, asserting that the party was maintaining its own record of such incidents.
Chaudhury made the remarks while inspecting a CPI(M) office in the Jogendranagar area of Agartala, which the party alleged was vandalised by BJP workers on Monday.
The CPI(M) leader accused the BJP of undermining democratic values and alleged that the ruling party’s actions were contrary to its stated commitment to democracy.
He said people across the state were protesting over issues including the hike in electricity tariffs and alleged misuse of public funds. According to Chaudhury, even some BJP supporters had expressed their concerns on social media.
“The government is now making another false promise of providing a 100 per cent subsidy on the additional power tariff. It is a ploy to divert attention from the real issues, People will not tolerate it,” he said.
Referring to a BJP rally held near the CPI(M) office, Chaudhury alleged that the incident reflected an erosion of democratic norms.
Chaudhury further claimed that the BJP did not respect democratic principles, the rule of law or constitutional values. He alleged that the particular CPI(M) office had been attacked around 10 times in the past.
“Is there anybody to prove that the CPI(M) launched the first attack, we will not reopen this party office. But nobody will believe such a made-up claims,” he said.
The CPI(M) state secretary said the party was documenting all alleged incidents of attacks on its offices and workers.
“No one will be spared. We are maintaining a record of these incidents. I do not know what the police will record or maintain, but we are keeping our own records,” Chaudhury said.
He also issued a warning to those allegedly involved in attacks on CPI(M) workers and offices, reiterating that the party was keeping track of every such incident. FD JK
