TMC alleges the State being a mute spectator
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has this week asked the Tripura government for a report on the recent instances of political and communal violence in the State.
Acting on a October 28 complaint by All-India Trinamool Congress spokesperson Saket Gokhale, the NHRC on Tuesday directed its registry to send a copy of the complaint to the Tripura Chief Secretary and Director General of Police, asking for action-taken reports within four weeks.
“The complainant…has highlighted issues regarding rising incidents of political violence and violence against persons from religious minority community in the State of Tripura. It is alleged that workers of ruling party of the State had attacked leaders of All-India Trinamool Congress while they were campaigning in the State”, the NHRC proceedings read.
