AGARTALA, March 28 (TIWN): Debates, arguments erupted among CPI-M and BJP leaders in the last day of Tripura Assembly, after BJP MLA Ram Prasad Pal demanded CITU’s immediate banning in Tripura. Addressing the Assembly, MLA Rama Prasad Pal said, “Tripura Motor Sramik Union (CPI-M’s wing under CITU) office at Nagerjala and some other places were found with illegal arms and ammunition stocks. Nagerjala like areas have always been suffered due to CPI-M’s violence sponsoring CITU wings’ existences. In this condition, I am not only demanding proper investigation in the arms recovery incident but also demanding the banning of CITU offices in Tripura”.

After CM Biplab Deb said, “Govt will do proper investigation in the matter”, in reply CPI-M MLA Sahid Chowdhury said, “Make it sure that CM’s investigation includes certain points as the window of CITU Office at Nagerjala was found opened after the police's raid. Apart from that, the office was occupied by BJP and not a single CPI-M worker after March 3rd’s election result went there”.

After that BJP MLA Biswa Bandhu Sen raised, “Maximum CPI-M offices are located in illegal lands. Govt must cancel the party’s authority which are made on illegal lands”.

Another IPFT MLA in between called CPI-M as ‘Sinners’.

MLA Bhanu Lal Saha said, “BJP is mentioning we are sinners. If we are sinners, give us place in your state to penance our sins. If we can’t continue our rallies and works then how will we survive as the opposition”?

With all these the Assembly remained heated in the beginning, whereas another issue which was added in the morning was whether BJP is forcing CPI-M members to leave their offices at Panchayat and Municipal level.
