AGARTALA, Nov 24 (TIWN): When in silly issues CPI-M has called strike many times in Tripura, but Tripura’s 2 journalists died in last 2 months, but the protests against the murder appears as illogical to CPI-M. In a press release, CPI-M State Committee said that BJP called strike was fully illogical and politically motivated. This statement even though was political attacks among CPI-M and BJP but calling the strike as ‘illogical’ was also an insult to Sudip Datta Bhaumik, the veteran journalist killed by State Rifles Jawans in broad day light. If Tripura Police had taken proper action immediately after Santanu’s murder then Sudip Datta Bhaumik’s murder would never happen. Due to the loopholes of police investigation in Santanu's case, Sudip Datta Bahumik’s murder was dared to initiate and Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar even though shed tears for Bengaluru's killed journalist Gauri Lankesh, walked in rally organized for her but in case of his own state’s journalist murder the Chief Minister has no time to spare.

Sudip Datta Bhowmik was working both in TV channels and print media of the Northeastern state, had vast experience in this field. Whereas on Sep 20, Santanu Bhowmik was killed in a political clash at Mandai, Sudip Datta Bhaumik was allegedly killed by TSR 2nd Bn trooper. 

Even though 2 persons including the mastermind Battalion Commandant Tapan Debbarma was arrested, but the state govt is allegedly blueprinting to save Manik Sarkar’s close official Tapan Debbarma by handing over the case to CID, rejecting CBI’s plea. 

Moreover, when the strike was successful across the state, CPI-M claimed 'it was uttered failure'.
