Raising voice against the attacks upon opposition CPIM leaders supporters organized a massive rally in Agartala today.

Yesterday the convoy of Tripura former chief minister Manik Sarkar and some senior CPM leaders was attacked at Rastarmatha in Sipahijala district, 25 km from Agartala, on Friday evening 16 nov. They were on their way back to the state’s capital after attending a meeting to commemorate the November Revolution, police said. The CPM condemned the incident as “undemocratic and fascist” and said “BJP supported hooligans” were behind it. Sarkar and CPM leaders – including former finance minister Bhanulal Saha, Sonamura MLA Shyamal Chakraborty, former minority welfare minister Sahid Choudhury and Kamalasagar MLA Narayan Choudhury – were later rescued by the police and escorted back to Agartala.
