Maharashtra violence unfortunate, says Tripura Govt.

‘Vested interest groups are trying to create anarchy and communal trouble by circulating fake information and morphed images over alleged atrocities on Muslims in Tripura,’ says Deputy Chief Minister Jishnu Debbarman.

Tripura Government has alleged that certain vested interest groups are trying to ‘create anarchy and communal trouble’ by circulating fake information and morphed images over alleged atrocities on Muslims in the State. It expressed serious concern over the incidents in Maharashtra cities over the past two days and appealed to people to maintain peace at any cost.

Deputy Chief Minister Jishnu Debbarman convened a press conference on Saturday evening to speak about the current situation. He deliberately spoke in Hindi, apparently to address people across the country.

“Tripura has a glorious history of communal harmony and amity between Hindus and Muslims. Vested interest groups are trying to take advantage from fake and fabricated contents circulating on social media,” Mr. Debbarman who is a member of erstwhile princely State’s royal family told newsmen.
