Left Parties, Congress Condemn BJP Obstruction to Manik Sarkar’s Tripura Programme

In a joint statement, leaders of the Left Front and the Congress party criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party for allegedly blocking the programme of former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar in Tripura. The condemnation was issued following reports that BJP officials had interfered with the event’s logistics and access. The Left and Congress parties demanded a transparent investigation into the alleged obstruction and called for the protection of political freedom in the state. The statement was released on the evening of the incident, with leaders urging the central government to ensure that political activities can proceed without interference. The BJP has yet to respond to the allegations.
