BISHALGARH (Sepahijala District, Tripura), Dec 1 (TIWN): Replying media questions over the case of former PWD Minister Badal Choudhury, Politburo member Brinda Karat said that the total FIR against Badal Choudhury is bogus and the case is manufactured. When media asked, why Badal Chodhury was arrested if not involved, Brinda Karat replied, “This is BJP’s culture to attack the opposition and arrest the opposition leaders to suppress the voicesâ€. Karat said CPI-M will not stop fighting against BJP’s tortures just because of such attacks. Brinda Karat also signaled there may be similar attacks on the other leaders too but all will be just with foul attempts to divert attention and suppress the leaders’ voices. She also stated that Badal Choudhury is mentally very strong although physically weak. Reacting over BJP Govt’s massive attack on ill-health’s Badal Choudhury, Brinda Karat said that this is simply “Inhumanâ€. Advocates Horibol Debnath, Bhaskar Debbarma, Arindam Bhattacharjee visited with Brinda Karat at Bishalgarh jail today and met Badal Choudhury.
“This is the SANSKRITI of BJP. When BJP is getting separated from the masses in such situations, BJP choses only one option which is to put oppositions in jail. BJP wants to do the same with our whole leadership. It is highly objectionable. We are politically and legally fighting for Badal Choudhury. Badal Choudhury has worked for public welfare. Never committed any crime or wrongdoing”, she said.
“BJP thinks by putting oppositions in jail, they can suppress the Opposition. But, we never did any wrong for the people”, Karat added.
