AGARTALA, Dec 24 (TIWN): Youth wings of the CPI-M party today have organized a protest rally in Agartala to condemn police attack during SFI, TSU procession at Belonia.

Earlier today, ahead of the golden jubilee year of the establishment of two leftist student organizations, SFI and TSU organized a procession in Belonia today.

As soon as the rally came in front of Bank Road, the police and TSR Jawans barricaded the procession and started lathi-charge for unknown reason. 12 activists got injured in the attack.

Opinion from eyewitnesses, one TSR jawan is responsible for today's untoward incident. BJP's gangster police force and TSR forces led by Additional Superintendent of Police, Sub-Divisional Officer, OC of the police station of the southern district were well equipped while attacking.

Besides, the Additional Superintendent of Police of the southern district did not want to hear about the incident even from former ministers.

Former finance and health minister, Badal Choudhury questioned why the police barricaded and lathi-charged despite having permission. He alleged that such incidents were provocative and said that if the ruling BJP party can hold a political procession or meeting, then why can't the opposition parties.
