AGARTALA, April 4 (TIWN): Reacting over the increasing attacks on media houses by CPI-M, with Melarmath’s direction, Tripura Trinamool Congress President MLA Asish Saha said that attack on media is very dangerous which should not be tolerated and all have stand against it. Talking to TIWN on Tuesday, about the recent attacks on media houses by ruling party, Trinamool MLA Asish Saha said, "Not only on media but the all opposition parties also facing the same threats. This is the over confidence of CPI-M after the continuous 24 years of regime in a state, whcih created a monarchy like situation in Tripura. We have to fight back CPI-M and stop this dirty game". Citing example of attack on Sabroom Magistrate Sourav Sen in 2015, Saha said, "This is nothing new, CPI-M earlier had attacked upon the judiciaries also.

Such attacks should be stopped before they turn more dangerous". "CPI-M is doing so that they can stay for more 5 years here by force. But the ultimate decision will be taken by voters in 2018".

It's worthy to mention here that ahead 1 year of the Assembly Election the attacks upon democracy has drastically increased in state. In this situation till 2018 election the situation may turn dangerous.

Supreme Court judge Anil Dave during his visit in Tripura, "Law and order is something which differentiates us from animals. Lawless society is barbaric". Even during the tenure ended as the Chief Justice of Tripura, Dipak Gupta said that increasing attacks on democracy is really dangerous for state.

But whereas CPI-M boosts that the party maintains peaceful democracy but the reality is something different. From Parimal Saha murder case to Bimal Sinha murder case; nowhere CPI-M showed their urgency to solve the cases.

BJP, RSS's attack on illegal butcheries are invalid according the Yechury and Manik, but what about the increasing cattle smuggling in Tripura Borders?  During the fight among tribal and Bengalis at Agartala on August 23rd, 2016 many people were injured, but till day no investigation has been done in it.

In this situation, when teachers are loosing their jobs, from fire service to health service everywhere CPI-M's vandalism is increasing, the party leaders are propagating, fighting with the media houses, if they publish any news exposing their corruptions.
