AGARTALA, Nov 13 (TIWN): Tripura is reeling under 'Dark Era' of Journalism polluted by BJP's unethical policies and its influence on a section of media, as state's leading media houses, senior journalists even though self propagated back in 2017 and till before Assembly Election 2018 funded by BJP has finally forgotten to protest for these two slain journalists. Using both the slain journalists Santanu Bhoumik, Sudip Datta Bhoumik for self propaganda and media advertisement, making money which flied few journalists even to meet President of India Ram Nath Kovind at Delhi demanding CBI investigations in both journalists' murders, today have ended their business with Journalists murders. After Election, Tripura journalists were never seen on road to protest for so called "Justice". In case of Santanu murder case, CBI is totally silent since over 300 IPFT activists including on of its MLA came in CBI diary.
Indeed, there is no hurry / anger among journalists of Tripura to ask BJP Govt to push CBI for faster investigation. However, on November 21st on the first death anniversary of Sudip Datta Bhoumik candles to be lighted, fake tears to come down till cheeks and speeches will be heard but with a major shame for independent Journalism-Policy, Tripura media world controlled by BJP backed journalists have stopped protesting for "faster CBI investigation".

Sudip was a reporter of Bengali newspaper Syandan Patrika and local television channel News Vanguard.
