AGARTALA, May 15 (TIWN): PCC Chief Birjit Sinha on Monday reacting over CPI-M's comment on Congress strike, said that Congress will not observe strike but the demands should be fulfilled before that. "If our demands are not fulfilled question doesn't arise to withdraw the strike", said Sinha.

'Our demands are both from CPI-M & BJP Govt. If our demand from Centre for CBI investigation in Rose Valley, then we also demand from the CPI-M Govt that the money should be returned to the Chit fund victims'.

'Congress is determined to hold the strike on May-18 with 12 demands', said Sinha.

Congress will raise 12 points including Chit Fund issues, 10,323 teachers who lost their jobs, demand for 7th Pay Commission, instead of TTADC to launch TTAC other demands. A source said that the party is expecting huge response from Unakoti, North Tripura areas on the strike day as till day Congress have some effects on the people at those areas. April 25th’s rally came from North Tripura led by Seva Dal also joined by a huge number of Congress supporters.

Another important point raised by Congress is regarding the delaying of compensation money to the affected families at border areas. Also zero point border fencing work’s faster completion’s demands to be raise also.

On the other hand instead of returning the money to the chit fund affected people, Tripura Govt had allegedly secured  the business with its moral support.

Moreover, the oppositions claimed that from the beginning CPI-M has taken plan-wise steps so that Rose Valley never comes under any CBI. In 2013 with an aim to cancel CBI inquiry against Rose Valley the cases were sent with a very minimum account, so that no CBI inquiry could occur in coming future.

However, with all these Congress has called for a 24 hours strike on may18.
