Ram Madhav Condemns Killing of Senior Journalist Sudip Datta Bhowmik in Tripura; Calls CPI(M)-led Government ‘Jungle Raj’ - JPKee.com

Agartala, Nov 25: Senior BJP leader Ram Madhav on Saturday condemned the killing of senior journalist Sudip Datta Bhowmik in Tripura and said that it is high time for the people to raise their voices against the ‘jungle raj’ in the state under Chief Minister Manik Sarkar. He alleged lack of law and order in the state under the CPI(M).

The BJP leader said ‘there is no law and order in Tripura’. “It is a jungle raj going on. It was the fate of Bengal under CPI(M) and that is the fate we see, experience in Tripura every day,” he added.

He also urged people to unite against the CPI(M) regime and put an end to this ‘jungle raj’. “Time has come for all the people in Tripura to come together to put an end to this jungle raj,” he said.

Following the killing of senior journalist Sudip Datta Bhowmik, Madhav arrived in Agartala on Saturday to take stock of the law and order situation. He expressed grief on the death of the journalist and said, “We are really sorry that a committed journalist, a reporter who was doing his duty, was brutally murdered and that shows how much the sentiment of fear prevails in this state of Tripura.”

Madhav also censured the role of the national media at Delhi for not organising any protests march against the killing of Bhowmik and said it indicates a lack of concern among the journalist fraternity.

“But what surprises me is that in Delhi where we live nobody cares for what is happening here. Nobody cares for the plight of journalists here; nobody seems to cares for the plight of expression of freedom here,” the BJP leader said.

The BJP called for a 12 hour strike on Thursday protesting the murder of Bhowmik.

Reports claimed Bhowmik was shot dead on Tuesday morning by a Tripura State Rifles (TSR) trooper during an altercation in Bodhjung Nagar in Tripura. The constable was later arrested.
