The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Tripura: Stop Attacks on Opposition
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) condemns the continuing attacks against the
CPI(M) and its elected representatives in Tripura.
 
On November 16, a meeting addressed by Manik Sarkar, leader of the
opposition, at the Bishalgarh CPI(M) office was encircled by BJP men, who
tried to  disrupt the meeting. Earlier BJP miscreants had sought to prevent
people coming to attend the meeting.  On their return also, many
participants were attacked. 35 were injured. Narayan Chowdhury, MLA's car
was also attacked.  
 
There have been a series of attacks on members of the zilla parishad. BJP
goondas had attacked the house of  South Tripura zilla parishad president,
Himangshu Roy.  Subsequently, on November 15, while proceeding to the zilla
parishad meeting in Belonia town, BJP goons attacked the cars of Roy and
other zilla parishad members. In the attack, some policemen were also
injured.
 
Such attacks on opposition political parties and local body office-bearers
have become a common feature in Tripura.  The BJP state government is
responsible for this deplorable state of affairs.
 
The Polit Bureau demands that the state government take immediate steps to
prevent such violent activities and ensure the conduct of normal political
activities.
