AGARTALA, Oct 21 (TIWN): CPI-M'a nexus with narcotics smuggling, cattle smugglers once again exposed by national data. Tripura BJP one day after BSF officer Dipak Mandal's murder by cattle smugglers at Sonamura's Kalapania, has slammed the CPI-M govt for sheltering all smugglers, mafias in state. BJP Tripura led by Subal Bhowmik, Ashok Sinha, Kalyani Roy expressed shocks over Chief Minister's silence without any condolence for BSF officer's murder. Addressing a press conference held in the afternoon at BJP Office, Bhowmik said, "The murder took place not at the Indo-Bangla border, but it was done in much populated area controlled by Police of Sonamura". "The incident took place in CM's constituency zone, very near to Dhanpur which is not controlled by BSF. Ganja production has become a free business here, without any control", he said.

"Even Bangladesh Govt has expressed concerned about increasing  narcotic business via Tripura borders, which is spoiling the young generation of Bangladesh", added Bhowmik.

"Above half of the total cattle smuggling is done through Tripura border. In 2015 also a BSF was killed at Akhaura border but the left front govt supported the smugglers only", said Subal Bhowmik.

"In the whole state under the left front govt the chorex, phensedyl businessmen are livinng and they have high links with the party. Smugglers are also sharing funds with Communist party", added Bhowmik.

The BJP leader further demanded central govt's intervene in Tripura's issues.

Tripura BJP spokesperson Ashok Sinha has heavily slammed the Chief Minister of Tripura for not condoling BSF Officer Dipak Kr Mandal's death led by smugglers' attack, which took place Chief Minister's own constituency's zone.

"To be a politician one must bear minimum humanity but the Chief Minister since the incident, till day has not uttered a single line for the brave soldier'', Sinha said.

" Amidst Diwali's celebration a darkness has gloomed the state with BSF's murder by cattle smugglers, but till now CM neither gave any press release nor any statement from him. Such a person has no right to be seated in Chief Minister's chair", added Sinha.
