India Today
Congress has formed a three-member team to visit Tripura after violent clashes between Congress and BJP workers in Agartala.
A three-member Congress delegation will visit Tripura tomorrow to take stock of the situation following clashes between Congress and BJP workers after the bypoll results.
At least 19 people, including Tripura PCC chief Birajit Sinha, were injured in a clash between Congress and BJP supporters in front of the Congress party office in Agartala on Sunday. Police fired tear gas to disperse the mob.
The Congress delegation will consist of senior leaders Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary, Gaurav Gogoi and Nasir Hussain. They will submit a report on the incident.
"The Indian National Congress strongly condemns the mindless attack on Congress Bhawan and brutal assault on Tripura PCC President, Birajit Sinha and other Congress workers by BJP goons, after the thumping victory of Congress party candidate Sudip Roy Barman in the Agartala bypoll," Congress said in a statement.
I strongly condemn the vicious attack on our leaders & workers by BJP goons following @INCIndia’s win in the Agartala bypoll.The people are with us. Shameful that the police stood as mute spectators instead of stopping the attack.These BJP goons must be brought to justice. https://t.co/8Kul4zBswK
