Amid the claims of good governance by Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, on Tuesday, the Left Front said that the law and order in the state had deteriorated, alleging that the opposition parties were repeatedly attacked by workers of both the ruling BJP and Tipra Motha.
In a letter written to Saha, four left leaders, including opposition leaders Jinendra Chaudhary, Manik Dey, Krishna Rakshit and Naresh Jamaatiya, highlighted attacks on opposition MLAs and party offices, disintegration of party programs, and the houses that claimed to be in the presence of police between June 17 and July.
“At present, the law and order of the state is not in the hands of the police, but it is located on the craze of some miscreants protected by ruling BJP and Tipra Motha. This indifferent attitude of the police is giving an independent hand to suppress the opposition and disrupt their activities, which is also to reduce an alarm.
“Despite all these, we, we, CPI (M), from the Tripura State Committee, believe in you and hope that you will allow the police to be non-partners, to act independently to act freely to take legal action against the law-breaker for any party or religious identity. The decline of the state’s general law and order,” the leaders wrote.
