AGARTALA, Nov 24 (TIWN): In time of Santanu Bhaumik and also in Sudip Datta Bhaumik’s murder, never the Chief Minister of Tripura went to pay tribute during the farewell procedure. But in Karnataka based Gauri Lankesh’s murder Chief Minister walked in protest rally with common men. Many rallies were organized even by CPI-M after Santanu’s murder but the Chief Minister didn’t walk in those rallies but when opposition parties called strike voicing against the 2nd journalist Sudip Datta Bhaumik’s murder on Nov 21, CPI-M has called the strike as illogical and politically motivated. Tripura Infoway on Sep-9 had titled Chief Minister Manik Sarkar's walk on a rally for Gouri Lankesh as a 'drama'. However, sharp attacks on the news coverage of Sep-9 was observed but ironically Manik Sarkar himself has proven--- It was a Drama ! When the peacemonger Communist leaders shed their tears on Gouri's death accusing RSS / BJP has killed her, but giving a surprise Chief Minister shown no interest at his own state's 2 journalists' murders.
Most condemnable thing is CM didn't pass any statement on the brutal murder eventhough he is holding the Home Ministry and now the internet has been cut so that the updates on Santanu's murder case can not be broadcasted.
Now in case of Sudip Datta Bhaumik also Chief Minister did the same. Not only this, Manik Sarkar wanted to hide the matter and in his statement he said that Nandu Reang has killed Sudip Datta Bhaumik, but later 2 were arrested, even though Tripura Govt is allegedly trying to end the matter by handing over the case to CID.
This statement even though was political attacks among CPI-M and BJP but calling the strike as ‘illogical’ was also an insult to Sudip Datta Bhaumik, the veteran journalist killed by State Rifles Jawans in broad day light. If Tripura Police had taken proper action immediately after Santanu’s murder then Sudip Datta Bhaumik’s murder would never happen. Due to the loopholes of police investigation in Santanu's case, Sudip Datta Bahumik’s murder was dared to initiate and Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar even though shed tears for Bengaluru's killed journalist Gauri Lankesh, walked in rally organized for her but in case of his own state’s journalist's murder the Chief Minister has no time to spare.
