Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Condemn Killing in Tripura

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the gruesome attack on
CPI(M) leaders and cadres in Charilam, Tripura on November 30, which has
resulted in the killing of a Party member, Shahid Miah and injuries to many
others.  

 

The violent attack by BJP goons took place when the Party cadres had gone to
reopen the local committee office in Charilam in Sepahijala district, which
had been forcibly shut down for the past four and a half years.  

 

In this brazen attack by BJP goons, not only was Shahid Miah killed but many
others seriously injured, including senior leader Bhanu Lal Saha, MLA and
former Finance Minister. This violence typifies the state of affairs in
Tripura ever since the BJP government came to office in February 2018.  The
CPI(M) and other opposition parties are not allowed to function freely, run
their offices or conduct normal political activities.  With assembly
elections just two months away, the ruling party, with the connivance of the
administration and police, continues to terrorise political opponents.  

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) demands that the police take firm action to
apprehend the culprits responsible for the killing and violence and take
strict action against them.  Democracy and democratic rights must be
restored in Tripura fully, if there has to be a free and fair election.
