Charilam, Dec 04: Supporters of Tipra Motha allegedly unleashed an attack on BJP activists at Mucharai Para at Jarulbachai ADC village under the Golaghati Assembly constituency on Saturday night. In the attack, six activists of BJP’s Janajati Morcha sustained head injuries.
A day after Tipra Motha supremo Pradyot Kishore Debbarma vehemently condemned the political violence in the wake of the killing of a CPM supporter at Charilam recently, his own party supporters got involved in the political violence.
Even after Debbarma’s rejection of Political violence, Tipra Motha supporters attacked the Janajati Morcha activists without any provocation.
Local sources said, while Janajati Morcha leaders were visiting households on Saturday as part of the party’s Ghar Ghar BJP programme, a group of the Tipra Motha supporters attacked the Morcha leaders. Six Morcha leaders were rushed to the Anandanagar Hospital with head injuries.
On Sunday, MLA Birendra Kishore Debbarma, Dukli Panchayat Samiti chairperson Ajay Kumar Das, BJP Golaghati Mandal president Ramakrishna Saha, BJP District General Secretary Rajesh Debbarma, Secretary Nitai Shil and many others visited the hospital and inquired about the health conditions of the injured party supporters.
Later, a BJP delegation led by MLA Birendra Kishore Debbarma went to the Srinagar police station and demanded the immediate arrest of the culprits. A case was filed with the Srinagar police station against 12 persons. However, there is no report of any arrest till the last information was received.
The incident sparked tension and resentment among the common people of the area.
