  • The Trinamul Congress has alleged that their party office by Bharatiya Janata Party-backed goons on Tuesday.

    The TMC had fought the Assembly as well as municipal elections in Tripura in the past, which were also marked by violence.

    The TMC is sending a delegation to Agartala tomorrow, which will fly from Kolkata around 10.50 a.m. on Wednesday. The delegates are Pratima Mondal, Saayoni Ghosh, Birbaha Hansda, Kunal Ghosh, Sudip Raha and Sushmita Dev, who will join from Assam, said sources.

    The party on its X handle wrote on the attack: “The violent attack on @AITC4Tripura’s office by BJP-backed goons is not an isolated act of aggression, it is an open assault on democracy. When those in power unleash violence to silence their opponents, they expose not strength, but fear and moral bankruptcy.

    “The BJP talks about “saving democracy” while burning its very foundations, state after state.

    “They may destroy offices, tear posters, and intimidate workers — but they cannot destroy the spirit of resistance that lives in every Trinamool worker and every citizen who believes in justice.

    “We will not be silenced. We will not back down. The people of Tripura and India are watching.”
