Tripura: CPM calls for nationwide protests amid fresh violence

The Hindu  

The Communist Party of India announced a nationwide protest against the BJP over alleged post-poll violence against its cadres in Tripura. Strongly condemning the “savage post-poll violence”, the party said, “Unwilling to accept that they won a wafer-thin majority losing over 10% of vote share and the coalition losing 11 of its sitting seats, the BJP is mounting such orgy of violence.” The party said it has submitted 668 cases to the State administration after their delegation failed to meet the Governor. “The attacks are going unchecked, police are silent and not taking action against the perpetrators”, State Left Front convener Narayan Kar told newsmen after meeting the DGP. He said “arson attacks are a new phenomenon introduced by the BJP in Tripura and properties of Opposition ranks are burnt across the State”. State BJP officials however refuted the allegation and claimed its cadres are the “worst sufferers of attacks from CPI, Congress and TIPRA Motha supporters”.
