AGARTALA, Oct 23 (TIWN): Amid PM Modi’s “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” slogan a 16 years old girl was allegedly raped by BJP Minister Bhagaban Das’s son Chandradhan Das and opposition parties are raising voices against the incident. Day after CPI-M State Secretary Jitendra Chowdhury demanded proper investigation into the alleged case, Congress organized a press meet on Sunday. Congress leader Asish Saha in the press conference said that the matter is a big issue now and from media to political parties, all are concerned over the alleged incident. Asish Saha asked, “Why can’t police take action against the accused just like they do in other cases ? Just because the accused is backed by a Minister, that’s why police will be biased ? Why the BJP leadership is silent over the matter”.

Asish Saha also said few women leaders visited the victim’s home but failed to take action for her justice.

“We demand proper and impartial investigation into the case. So, for the sake of proper investigation, the Minister should be immediately sacked from his post”, said Asish Saha to media.

It was alleged that the victim has been kept under heavy pressure not to lodge any complaint or speak before media.

Back in 2020, a girl was allegedly raped and burnt alive in Mohanpur but due to BJP Minister Ratan Lal Nath’s interference no justice was given to the family and no chargesheet was filed against the BJP criminals. Then in another case, BJP Minister Ram Prasad Pal’s workers were involved in a gang-rape which was also supressed with heavy political threats and influences by Ram Prasad Pal and BJP MP Pratima Bhowmik. Tripura BJP has topped in keeping molestation accused persons in the front row like Sunit Sarkar, Subratra Chakraborty who molested girl students when they were on-duty as teachers in different schools.

Question raises, how many girls and women will be further raped in Tripura by BJP party members ? Is this the rule of law promised by Prime Minister Modi before 2018 Election ?
