AGARTALA, Aug 17 (TIWN): When Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar's negative remarks on his I-Day speech against the Central Govt is triumphing over the top of the debates, BJP State Observer Sunil Deodhar gave a spice to the Communist's love for Anti-National activities citing an example of Tripura Sports Minister Sahid Chowdhury, who had given shelter to a dangerous terrorist Mamun Mia making him Usman Majumder, who is right now is grilled in West Bengal Jail. Addressing a gathering Sunil Deodhar said, "The Communists need to tell us what RSS has done for India's Freedom, everyone knows how were our freedom fighters".

  "The freedom fighters were from every backgrounds regardless teachers, farmers. But point is we do not have to learn a lesson from the Communists who has empowered leaders as Sahid Chowdhury. The CPI-M Minister of Tripura had sheltered Mamun Mia like terrorists but caught when from outside police had exposed him. Secularism doesn't mean to make terrorist a hero ", Deodhar said. 

Noteworthy, the former minister for Food and Civil Supply Sahid Chowdhury, who was dropped from the Left Front ministry in Tripura following alleged links with a Bangladeshi arms dealer was called back in ministry in 2013.

Back in 2008, it was West Bengal Police CID team which exposed that Minister Shahid Chowdury was having liaison with HUJI Terrorist Mamun. Shahid arranged a rented house for Mamun Mia in Agartala, helped Bangladeshi terrorist in getting Permanent Resident Certificate and Passport. Shahid Chowdhury and his wife were frequent visitors in Mamun’s rented shelter in Agartala.

Its West Bengal Police CID team which tracked HUJI terrorist Mamun Miah’s nexus with Minister Shahid Chowdhury, arrested Maun Miah on March 27, 2008; otherwise Manik Sarkar’s Tripura Police wouldn’t have touched this HUJI terrorist and his relative Minister Shahid Chowdhury. Mian was arrested by the West Bengal Criminal Investigation Department on March 27 from Agartala following the arrest of two Bangladeshis, Alamgir Hussain and Shamim Akhtar, from Howrah along with some arms and exlosives.
Due to national and statewide public protests, Manik Sarkar was compelled to axe Shahid Chowdhury from Tripura Cabinet in 2008 to save CPI-M’s face. Shahid Chowdhury was having relations with members of global terrorist organisations, Al Qaeda and Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami, Bangladesh (HUJI).

However Manik Sarkar’s mutual admiration for Shahid Chowdhury never faded so CM Manik brought back Shahid Chowdhuty into cabinet in 2013 as Sports Minister.

This issue was stressed by the BJP leader Sunil Deodhar when addressing on I-Day at Agartala.

Campaigning about BJP's ideology,  the BJP leader said, "PM Modi has asked terrorism to quit from India. His foreign visits are parts of it, because terrorists never live in the same country where they spread terror, but their shelter always have been in other countries. So from Communists we don't have to learn a lesson of humanity and terrorism".
