AGARTALA, Jan 2 (TIWN): After Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar had restricted Tripura's Chief Secretary Sanjeev Ranjan and DGP A K Sukla from meeting Governor Tathagata Roy, opposition BJP has raised question, 'Why has CM restricted Chief Secretary and DGP to meet the Governor ?' It was known from a daily newspaper that Chief Minister was called by Governor Tathagata Roy on 29th December and asked him about Santanu and Sudip Datta Bhaumik murder cases. The Governor also asked Chief Minister Manik Sarkar about BSF Officer Dipak Kr Mandal's murder case who was killed by Sonamura based smugglers. On the next day, CM had called the DG and Chief Secretary, but Manik Sarkar has allegedly restricted them to meet the Governor."Manik Sarkar is not a Chief Minister of an independent state. He is also ruled under the federal structure", BJP MLA Ratan Lal Nath said.

Giving  a sharp reaction after charges brought against CM, Ratan Lal Nath further said, "What was the issue that needed to hide from the Governor that CM forbid them to meet him ? Both Chief Secretary and  DGP work under the Governor and they are bound to follow his order"

"What going on in Tripura.....is this called administration ? Red Politics has damaged the whole system, corrupted the departments.  Law and order collapsed in Tripura. In this situation, CM is proving himself as an agent of China and Pakistan", added Nath.

"Tripura is undergoing a total constitutional crisis situation and the Chief Minister is  acting just like spy of Pakistan and China. As per the constitution Chief Minister is bound to answer the Governor", said Nath.

" According to the law under section 265, 257, 355 he is bound to obey the Governor or it comes under unconstitutional activity", said Nath.
