AGARTALA, July 14 (TIWN): Law Minister Ratan Lal Nath on Tuesday while addressing in a press meet said that police have done a commendable job by arresting CPI-M.

He said CPI-M's rallies were held without permission and BJP held programmes with permission. 

While facing a media question, Ratan Lal Nath lost his cool and asked, why are journalists not maintaining social distance ? 

Then he claimed that police have given BJP permission to organize programmes but CPI-M's programmes are illegal.

Ground reality says, BJP does not need any permission to hold programmes but major opposition parties as CPI-M and Congress are not allowed to hold any programme.
