AGARTALA, March 22 (TIWN): The second day of the budget session which is scheduled to be hoisted on Tuesday is expected to be once again rocked with the hidden facts of the Yusuf Commission report as opposition congress has demanded to CPI-M to publish the report on Tuesday.

Reportedly, on the last day of the budget session Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar has said that the alleged leakage of the Yusuf Commission report into the assassination of former Health Minister Bimal Sinha in a vernacular daily will be proved. A local vernacular daily published the report on claiming it was made available to the newspaper and that Sinha was assassinated due to his close link with the banned insurgent outfit National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT). Sinha was shot dead by the ultras on March 31, 1998 at Kamalpur subdivision in Dhalai district.

Replying to the leader of the opposition, Sudip Roy Barman, in the assembly, Sarkar expressed concern over the leakage of the report, which has been kept a secret for the last 16 years.

Reportedly, a vernacular daily of the state has published the report which has erupted controversy in the assembly.

However, Opposition leader Sudip Roy barman further said to disclose the report by 22 and 23 of March during the budget session.

Opposition is likely to nail the treasury bench on the Yusuf Commission report constituted to carry out judicial prove on the assassination of the then Health Minister Bimal Singh in his home subdivision- Kamalpur.

Accordingly, the Yusuf commission will be disclosed during the budget session as lawyer from government side has appealed to the court that they will publish the Yusuf commission report and action taken report during the budget session.

It appears from the scenario that state government will intentionally keep on dragging the issue in the name of asking time as the report is expected to dig out the hidden facts behind the murder case.

In previous hearing the HC has asked government to place the report by February 29 after PIL was filed. The report was placed before the division bench of Chief Justice Deepak and Justice Subhasis Talapatra but once again the date for publication is being delayed until next assembly session.

Reportedly, earlier Government demanded four weeks of time for placing the report but court has extended it to 6 weeks and has set the deadline till February 29 covering a total duration of six weeks and again the PP has asked for time till next budget session.

Apart from placing a full-fledged Budget for 2016-17 FY; the government will also table the report of the Yusuf Commission on Tuesday.
