After TMC, now CPI(M) moves Supreme Court over Tripura violence

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Wednesday approached the Supreme Court alleging violence by members of ruling BJP in Tripura to terrorize opposition party members amid the civic body elections. The CPI(M) plea follows in the wake of a writ petition filed by the Trinamool Congress on the same matter.

"The ruling political party workers and their sympathisers have been attacking the CPI(M) workers and sympathisers. They are being subjected to inexplicable and cruel violence. Many of them have lost their lives and property including residential houses. The offices of the party are also attacked,” the CPI(M)’s application reads.
