AGARTALA, July 7 (TIWN): The CPI-M Party and other Left parties have observed ‘Dabi Divas’ on Tuesday across Tripura. From South to North, the CPI-M joined in protest with demands for the people and in voice against BJP led autocracy in the state. Addressing at the Manubankul, South Tripura, CPI-M’s tribal wing Gana Mukti Parishad (GMP) President Jitendra Choudhury said, “Amid COVID-19, BJP has continued statewide attacks. This attack is not limited to the opposition but now has started to hit own party workers in BJP. But I thank to the people who avoiding all threats and direct warnings, they have joined in this agitation. Now we have to restore Democracy and oath has to be taken for that”. On Dabi Diwas across Tripura on Tuesday, in Agartala the protest was led by Manik Sarkar, Tripura’s former Chief Minister. Manik Sarkar has stated that people are no more afraid about BJP Govt in Tripura. “Earlier, people were afraid to come out of home in fear of the party’s attack, but now they are ready to face any consequence but coming out. It means, the level of tolerance have been crossed”, said Manik Sarkar.
