AGARTALA, June 21 (TIWN): CITU protested the 24 hours long NH-44 strike which is to be held on Wednesday.

During the protest rally the party members raised voice against IPFT’s strike in demand of Twipra land and urged people for equal co-operation with CPI-M to fail the protest of IPFT.

It’s worthy to mention here, apart from the CPI-M none of the opposition parties has come into massive protest against IPFT’s strikeJune 22 strike.

Since June 12 CPI-M cleared its view against IPFT’s intention. State Secretary Bijan Dhar clearly mentioned that Twipra Land is never possible.

However, before the Municipal Election, Manik Sarkar himself during his speech at North Tripura said, “Twipra Land will remain as an imaginary object only’.

On June 8 during IPFT’s press meet Slamming the ruling Govt. party vice-president said that the Trible Welfare Dept.’s reports are different from ADC original reports, which is a major reason behind the lack of development of ADC areas. He also added, “On 18th February, 2016 central govt. had allocated Rs. 175.95 crores for ADC development. That fund was ordered to utilize  in the development of ADC, but till day no fund has been transferred to ADC. Protesting all these IPFT is going for a massive protest and announced that all kinds of vehicle strikes including railway service will be stopped on June 22. 

As a part of counter attack, opposing IPFT’s  ‘Bandh’ CPI-M state secretary via a press meet on June 12 expressed CPI-M’s strong objection about IPFT’s strike on June 22 in demand of Twipra land.

On that day IPFT is to halt the railway and road-way service in Tripura.

Addressing the press meet CPI-M state secretary Bijan Dhar said that CPI-M never will support IPFT’s demand for a separate land, but the opposition parties are playing a diplomatic role in this issue.

Opposition parties are silent instead of IPFT’s continuous demand for Twipra land, said Dhar.

He also mentioned whether CPI-M has clearly announced about party’s view against IPFT, now opposition parties would open their mouth and share what how think about the Twipra land—whether they support it or not---- it needs to be cleared.

It’s to be mentioned here that although IPFT took a break from their demand of Twipra land, but once again they have come up with their earlier demand for a separate land along with some more demands.

IPFT on June 8 held a press meet on where they announce that party is going to observe 24 hours strike on June 22 and to stop railway and national highway for 1 day in demand of Twipra land.

CPI-M state president held a press meet at Melarmath Party office and announced that no strike would observe in demand of Twipra land transport movement would not be disrupted on June 22. 

And as a result IPFT again slammed the ruling party for giving objection against their strike.

However, counter attacks on each other is continuing and how far strike will be successful it will be seen on June 22.
