Abhishek Banerjee denied permission for public meeting
The Trinamool Congress alleged that the party’s national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, who arrived here on Sunday, was denied permission to hold a meeting in Khowai district. The TMC said police at the last moment cancelled permission for the planned meeting with members of a tribal NGO at Baramura Eco Park.
Mr. Banerjee kick started his two-day visit, his fifth in the last six months, to boost the party in Tripura, accompanied by Trinamool leaders from West Bengal and RS MP Sushmita Dev.
“Police are said to have given permission to a different organisation to hold an event at the same venue by State’s Tribal Welfare Minister Mevar Kumar Jamatia,” a party statement alleged.
