Panisagar SDPO Soubhik Dey said that a VHP protest rally of around 3,500 people was organized in Panisagar. The official said, “A section of VHP activists at the rally ransacked a mosque in the Chamtilla area. Later, three houses and three shops were ransacked and two shops set on fire in the Rowa Bazar area, around 800 yards away from the first incident.”
CPIM state leader Pabitra Kar said, “Such incidents are occurring in Tripura after violence happened in Bangladesh. These things are being orchestrated by the BJP. Tripura is known for communal peace and harmony. The state government should make sure communal harmony and peace are maintained here.”
Last Friday, the Tripura State Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind submitted a memorandum to the office of Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, alleging attacks on mosques and minority habitations in the past three days.
