Agartala Sept 02: Minister Sudhangshu Das’s recent social media statement regarding the incidents of idol-vandalization in various parts of the state has sparked significant controversy.

During a press conference at the Agartala Congress Bhavan on Monday afternoon, Pradesh Congress spokesperson Prabir Chakraborty demanded the resignation of the BJP minister alleging that his remarks on social media is enough to create communal tension.

“Instead of promoting unity and promoting inclusivity, Minister Sudhangshu Das appears to be contributing to the rise of communal tensions”, he said.

Chakraborty added, “Being at a responsible position in the state cabinet, such statements from him are not at all acceptable and according to the new laws he must be arrested immediately and appropriate legal action should be taken against him”.

Chakraborty criticized the minister’s statement, describing it as inflammatory and detrimental to the state’s peace and order.

On behalf of the Congress, Chakraborty emphasized that no political party, regardless of affiliation, should post content on social media that could disrupt peace and harmony or create a volatile situation.

He strongly condemned Minister Das’s statement and called for responsible use of social media by political figures.
