Tripura CM says attacks aimed at destroying good relationship
Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb on Tuesday viewed recent communal violence in Bangladesh as a ploy to disturb its good neighbourly relation with India. He said the incidents should not only be attributed to acts of religious fundamentalist, but were fallout of a conspiracy hatched by vested quarters.
The Chief Minister felt that the whole gamut of targeted attacks on religious minorities was to disturb extraordinary friendly ties between India and Bangladesh. He hoped that the Bangladesh government headed by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina would strictly tackle the rioters and protect its people from all communities.
“There are protocols involved and have limitations while responding to happenings in another country. But I condemn communally motivated incidents in Bangladesh during Durga puja festival,” the Chief Minister of Tripura that shares boundary with Bangladesh on its three sides, told newsmen.
