New Delhi : CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury writes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi listing attacks perpetrated by BJP in Tripura. The state government has failed its constitutional obligation of upholding law and order, and protecting democratic rights in Tripura. Instead, it is attempting to destroy the Opposition’s democratic right to hold peaceful protests in the region.
The attacks on dozens of CPI(M) offices including its headquarters were part of pre-meditated conspiracy. These attacks were perpetrated in the presence of police, read the lietter and urged PM to help bring the culprits to justice.
