AGARTALA, July 4 (TIWN): Reacting over the arrest of CPI-M activists at Khayerpur during protest against petrol, diesel prices, CPI-M leader Pabitra Kar said that it has become a trend to arrest the opposition amid the Chief Minister and his party continuing to organize protests throughout the state.

After the Khayerpur incident where CPI-M members were arrested, leader Pabitra Kar said, "Let them arrest as many as they can and we will also keep on protesting. Let's see how long they can be arrested and how many can be put behind the bar. We will stop protesting once Govt takes step to help the people and serve food, money in Covid pandemic situation".

He also informed the media, the BJP first tried to generate a clash in Khayerpur but as BJP could not get support in Khayerpur and failed to make any gathering, so police force was used.

"Yesterday also BJP's 2 MLAs meeting. Now question is, whether law is only for CPI-M ?",asked Kar.
