Agartala: Condenming the wave of terror against BJP workers which began after the July 15 panchayat polls in the state, BJP MPs cautioned on Tuesday that NDA government at the Centre would not remain a silent spectator if the ruling CPI-M in Tripura does not stop .
“We visited the terror stricken villages of Tripura and found that unprecedented terror was let loose by CPI-M activists on BJP workers and supporters. “We want to give a message that if the terror is not stopped forthwith, the NDA government will not remain a silent spectator,” said BJP vice president Surinder Singh Ahluwalia. Ahluwalia led a three-member team of BJP MPs on a visit yesterday to the villages which have been allegedly affected by Left parties’ terror.
“I also want to make it clear that the NDA government is not the UPA government, which ran with the support of CPI-M,” Ahluwalia told a press conference here Tuesday.
Tarun Vijay and Satyanarayan Jatia, too, were part of the BJP team which visited Dakshin Maheshpur village in Sipahijala district along with some others in Gomati and South Tripura districts. Ahluwallia alleged that CPI-M activists began terrorising BJP candidates, even women candidates, supporters and activists a day after the panchayat polls.
“Even an 82-year-old woman was not spared. Her hand was fractured. Other women were threatened with mass rape if they supported BJP. “I do not know where they have learnt of mass rape, may be they have learnt it from Trinamool Congress MP Tapas Pal,” said Ahluwalia, the BJP MP.
He alleged that unprecedented terror took place in Kathalia block, which falls in the constituency of Chief Minister Manik Sarkar. (PTI)
