AGARTALA, Feb 11 (TIWN): To prove himself as a secular party’s top most leader, Tripura CM Manik Sarkar claimed that he read Koran, Bible and also Tripitak.

Accusing Modi Govt for violating religious rights of people in India, Sarkar said that as per his knowledge none of those books directs to torture other religions.

To prescribe someone what to eat or not in the name of Goraksha is a bad culture that the Govt is promoting.

'Since the new Govt has came at  Centre the minorities are being forced to change their religion. Since 2014 in the name of Goraksha, the Govt has been interfering on food cultures of Muslims. Even they are entering to the kitchen of people, to inspect what cooking is going on’, he added. 

‘But the religious books which I went through my College life do not say so’, Sarkar added.
