Press Statement

 

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

 

Nationwide Protest against Post-Poll Terror Unleashed by the BJP in Tripura

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the savage post-poll
violence unleashed by the BJP against the CPI(M), Left Front and opposition
party cadres.  As the results were being declared  on March 2 and the BJP
was inching towards a majority, an orgy of violence marking the daylight
murder of democracy in Tripura was unleashed.  Unwilling to accept that it
won a wafer thin majority losing over 10 per cent of its vote share and the
coalition losing 11 of its sitting seats, the BJP is mounting such orgy of
violence.

 

All across the state, a large number of violent attacks of destroying homes
and properties of the CPI(M) supporters, physical attacks, extortion of
money and imposing an embargo on the livelihoods of common people are
continuing.  Out of a total of more than thousand incidents, in which so far
three lives have been lost, details of 668 cases have been submitted to the
state administration as the Governor remained unavailable to meet the CPI(M)
and Left Front delegation.

 

The Polit Bureau calls upon the state administration and law enforcement
machinery to immediately intervene to restore law and order and extend
necessary financial and medical relief to the victims.

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) calls upon its units to organize protest
actions against this murder of democracy and unleashing of terror politics
by the BJP in Tripura.
