CPIM MLA comes under attack in Tripura

Sitting CPIM MLA from Hrishyamukh assembly constituency in South Tripura and Deputy Leader of the Opposition Badal Chowdhury on Wednesday sustained injuries after miscreants showered brickbats and stones on him and his party colleagues at Jolaibari under the same district.

 

Narrating the incident, he said, after a condolence meeting at Belonia party office, a team of CPIM leaders left for Saheed Dhananjoy Tripura Park located at Sachiram Bari of Jolaibari, where they were supposed to address a gathering followed by offering floral tributes to the bust of Dhananjoy Tripura.

 

As per the schedule they reached there and offered tributes. On their way back, the CPIM leaders got out of the car and sat down at a shed. Taking the advantage of the situation, the miscreants started pelting stones and brickbats upon them. Soon they boarded their respective cars and left the place. The front and back side glasses of the vehicles were also broken during the sudden attack.

“One group went there from Hrishyamukh and the other one rushed there from Muhuripur. Their prime motive was to disturb the planned programmes”, said Badal. 

 

The former Minister also lashed out at the police saying that adequate security arrangements were not ensured despite knowing about programmes.

 

“I have directly come to the SP office just to make him aware of the situation. I have also asked the DM whether I have the right to enter in my own constituency or not”, he added. 

 

The CPIM leaders rushed to the Police Superintendent office located at Belonia in search of a safe refuge. After lodging an official complaint, Chowdhury was shifted to Belonia hospital for treatment. Choudhury was later shifted to GBP hospital for better treatment.  

 

Briefing the media after the attack, Chowdhury accused Hrishyamukh BJP Mondol President AseshBiady of plotting the incident and held BJP sheltered miscreants responsible for the attack.

 

 “Asesh Baidya has now earned the tag of an infamous goon of this region. The whole attack has been committed under Baidya’s direction”, alleged Chowdhury.
