A parliamentary team that came to BJP-ruled Tripura on Friday to investigate post-poll political violence and talk to the affected people was attacked today. The team is on a two-day visit.
CPI(M) Tripura state secretary and former minister Jitendra Chaudhury said the parliamentary team has been compelled to suspend its residual outdoor programmes scheduled tomorrow in the face of "gruesome attack" unleashed upon them at Nehalchandra Nagar Bazar in Bisalgarh this evening.
Congress and CPI(M) sources said when members of the parliamentary team went to violence-hit Bishalgarh in Sepahijala district, some people backed by the ruling BJP attacked them and damaged three vehicles.
"The MPs and the accompanying Congress and CPI(M) leaders quickly left from the place and escaped the major attack," the CPI(M) said in a statement.
