Even as Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha asserted that no one would spared in case of recent instances of violence at Gandachhara and Kaiturbari, the Opposition parties alleged Police inaction in preventing the violence. The opposition also demanded action against the ‘erring’ Police officers.
Chief Minister assured the lawmakers that Miscreants had no political or religious affiliations. The law would take its course. No one would be spared while replying to a Calling Attention Notice of Islam Uddin and Ramu Das in the Assembly on Friday on the recent violence at Kaiturbari under the Jirania sub-division.
Commenting on the issue, CPIM and Congress MLAs condemned the incidents at Kaiturbari and Gandachhara and held the Police inaction responsible for the trouble in which several innocent villagers’ houses and properties were set on fire and destroyed.
The Opposition MLAs said that during the occurrence of the incidents at Gandachhara and Kaiturbari, they had talks with concerned officials who assured them that a large contingent of police teams were deployed in the troubled areas. The Opposition MLAs wonder how the miscreants could create such trouble in presence of police. Alleging that the violence occurred in the presence of the Police, they demanded punitive actions against the responsible Police officers.
In reply, the Chief Minister detailed the actions taken by the Police to disperse the trouble makers and quell the tension. He also presented information on the number of persons arrested for the troubles.
