10 injured in attack on AIKS unit in Tripura
Description
At least 10 people were injured and a dozen vehicles damaged when BJP workers allegedly attacked members of the Tripura unit of All India Kisan Sabha during a Homage Day programme at Khairpur near Agartala. The AIKS had organised “Shraddhanjali Divas” across the country to pay tributes to the 33 farmers it said had died during the ongoing farmers’ agitation at Delhi. Among those injured in the attack was Pabitra Kar, the secretary of the Tripura unit of AIKS as well as the West Tripura district unit of the CPI(M). “A group of BJP workers led by (local leader) Amit Nandi attacked us during the Shraddhanjali meeting. They pelted stones and damaged a house, destroyed cars and two-wheelers,” he said.
