AGARTALA, Sep 16 (TIWN): Tripura SSA teachers to file a defamation case against Daily Deser Katha newspaper for publishing a fake report about their hunger strike's ending event of August 7. After 7 day long hunger strike, SSA teachers' led Hunger Strike was withdrawn when Tripura Governor Tathagata Roy's delegations had met the teachers on Strike spot, assuring the Governor will look into the matter. But Daily Deser Katha not only mentioned the Hunger Strike as a 'Drama' but also wrote "BJP Spokesperson Dr. Ashok Sinha persuaded the hunger strike by giving them water". This statement was intentionally done to display the SSA teachers' movement was a political move by connecting with Dr. Ashok Sinha. Already the SSA teachers have talked to a lawyer and all set to file a case in the High Court, SSA teacher Bastav Debbarma told TIWN on Saturday.
In that news that was titled, "7 day long Hunger Strike's Drama Ended !"

The news described, "The 7 day long Hunger Strike Drama has been ended. On Monday afternoon Tripura University Vice Chancellor Arunodoy Saha, BJP Spokesperson Ashok Sinha after giving them fruit jouices, the hunger strike was broken......" However, Dr Ashok Sinha never broke the hunger srike of SSA teachers, which will be the main point of the case as the fake-report was never apologized later.

The defamation may turn another big blow for Melarmath as recently Tripura Chief Minister has also filed a case against BJP State Observer Sunil Deodhar alleging, Deodhar has defamed Manik Sarkar.
