AGARTALA, Jan 18 (TIWN): With a tight slap to the cash-agency based news reporters in Tripura, Royal Family has warned them to “stop lies†and create confusion among the common men misusing the fourth pillar of democracy. There have been various ‘cooked’ news since Friday morning in Tripura that Rajmata Bibhu Kuarmi Devi is joining BJP and she praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing in a programme of Jamatia Hoda at Udaipur Atharobla. Giving a strict warning to such news, Bibhu Kumari said, “How can I join BJP, I am not in politics. I have been a Congress person in my whole life. How can I praise Modi when I don’t know him ? How can I talk against or in favour of such a person whom I don’t know ?â€
Her son Pradyot Manikya, who is also the Editor of The Northeast Today (TNT), a top Congress leader of Tripura asked her in facebook live, there is a report in Jayanta Debnath run tripurainfo.com that you are joining BJP.....is it true and she replied, “That is a lie, he is liar whoever said this”. After her statement, Pradyot Manikya warned that media house saying, “Next time don’t take on people on lies. We are against Citizenship Bill and I will make sure that that can not happen. So, it’s clear whatever news reports came are full of lies and fake”.
The same media house, recently delivered another fake news about Pradyot Manikya saying he left Congress.
The website has been always bootlicking of State Govt either in CPI-M era or now and also the land where the media house is located at Lichu Bagan near Airport was illegally taken from the State Govt with helps of corrupt hands. A media house can not have Govt land in benefit.
When everyday attacks on media persons are going on in Tripura, democracy is being raped each day, instead of protesting against such illegal activities of ruling Govt, such media houses are benefiting the ruling party in all means.
Tripura however under BJP era have been witnessing the worst form of lawlessness including illegal occupying of Press Club. On yesterday, Tripura High Court in a historical judgement warned Tripura Police (SP West District Ajit Pratap Singh) to immediately stop illegal activities against media persons and harassment.
