AGARTALA, March 7 (TIWN): With another setback for unruly BJP activists, Tripura Governor Tathagata Roy, who personally also a former RSS, BJP leader, has hit the BJP attired mob who pulled down Lenin’s statue.

“I am advised that pulling down statues (Lenin's or anyone else's) unless done by lawfully empowered authorities,qualify as 'Mischief' under Indian Penal Code”, Governor Tweeted.

Hitting the supporters of such barbaric activities Governor said, “They are bailable and non-cognizable offences. Trying to blow them up to something like rioting or murder is unwarranted”.

The statue of Lenin was bulldozed on March 5 after BJP won the election by mob. The mob wearing BJP's attires was screaming "Bharat Mata Ki Jay" while pulling down the statue of Lenin. 

However, question remains, whether the BJP after forming its Govt  in Tripura, will take any action against the mobs or not.
