AGARTALA, March 17 (TIWN): “Beef eating is food right..”, its a popular dialogue of Tripura Marxist Chief Minister Manik Sarkar, which has resulted in 3 peoples’ death while smuggling cattle to Bangladesh via Tripura border on Friday. Eventhough many Hindu-backed organizations objected to stop cattle smuggling through Indo-Bangla border and placed deputation to DM level Manik Sarkar said, “In the name of Go-Raksha, Modi is politicizing the food culture. For vote banks and border politics, under CPI-M Era, cattle smuggling are just raising up. When BSF nabbed huge numbers of cattle at Sabroom Chitabari Border border around 4.30 PM, after a while the villagers (cum smugglers) heavily attacked upon BSF and the number of BSF were very less than the villagers’ number, that led BSF firing to prevent the villagers with sharp weapons in their hands.

But 3 smugglers were killed on spot named Man Kumar Tripura (30) Par Tripura Tripura (40) Sarala Laxmi Tripura (33).

The wounded people have been identified as Shyam Kumar Tripura,  Jiban Tripura and many are in hide.

On the other hand reacting over BSF’s action CPI-M has called for 12 hrs strike at Sabroom on Saturday.

But question raises,

1. Who is responsible for the scenario of Saturday ?  
2. How ‘smuggling’ became villagers’ profession in Tripura?
3. Why border fencing yet to be completed ?
4. Whose lives are more valuable : BSF Jawans' ? Or Smuglers' ?

Had Tripura Govt took cattle smuggling issues seriously or it had 1 % love for nation, then  in these 24 yrs regime the massive killing of cattle and smuggling via Indo-Bangla borders and also smuggling activities, ganja plantation would have been stopped.

Before few days at Panisagar Padmabil Village one Hindu man Asim Das was killed in communal clash and more 10 injured, but police remained silent on ended with 2 persons’ arrests. Neither CPI-M that time called any strike, not it took any action from Panchayat level.

CPI-M’s corruption has left ADC and rural undeveloped and moved the poor villagers to wrong ways.

But when BSF jawans were doing their duties and police were standing just merely a puppet, then CPI-M has started politicizing the issues, same that the politburos  do with Kashmir issues. 

Security tightened across Indo-Bangla borders in Sabroom and South Tripura.
