AGARTALA, Jan 4 (TIWN): Raising slogans against BJP`s "politics of polarisation" and demanding the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, arrest of BJP leader who preached hatred for the violence in Delhi, the CPI-M on Wednesday brought out a protest rally here appealing to people of all communities to come together to protect communal amity in West Bengal.
The rally, organised by the party`s Agartala Headquarter, began from Melarmath, railing against the BJP and RSS and the attempts to foment violence in the national capital.
Top state CPI-M leaders including Gautam Das, Pabitra Kar walked the entire three-kilometer stretch, lending their voice to the incessant slogans.
On the other side, over the last two days, opposition and treasury benches have clashed with the former demanding an immediate discussion on the riots while the latter wanting the matter to be taken up after Holi. With at least 47 dead, more than 200 injured and massive damage to property, the Delhi riots need to be thoroughly investigated and those guilty brought to book. Plus, there are allegations that the Delhi Police not only failed to perform its duty but also acted in a partisan manner. All of this while US President Donald Trump was on a state visit.
