AGARTALA, Oct 4 - The opposition CPI(M) in Tripura has alleged that law and order has collapsed in the State ever since the BJP-IPFT combine came to power, and sought the DGP�s intervention to improve the situation.
A three-member delegation of CPI(M) led by party secretary Goutam Das met the DGP, Rajib Singh here and submitted a memorandum, detailing incidents of attacks on the Opposition party workers �carried out by goons of the BJP and IPFT�.
Das claimed 14 party activists were killed and over 2,420 assaulted, and 346 CPI(M) offices vandalised since the combine formed government.
�We do not seek any additional favour. Political parties should have the freedom of expression in a democratic country,� said former Tripura minister Jitendra Chowdhury. � PTI
