Agartala: Mar 31: Those who murdered former Health Minister Bimal Sinha are now within the ruling party and indirectly providing strength as an allied force. When they cannot defeat the leftists democratically, they resort to terrorist activities, communal rhetoric, and various methods to undermine democracy.
On Monday, during the observance of the martyrdom day and anti-terrorism day of former Health Minister Bimal Sinha, opposition leader Jitendra Choudhury made these remarks. On March 31, 1998, the then Health Minister Bimal Sinha was murdered. Monday marked the 28th martyrdom day of Bimal Sinha. The CPI(M) observes this day every year as Anti-Terrorism Day, and this year was no exception. On Monday morning, CPI(M) state secretary Jitendra Choudhury and others paid floral tributes to the portrait of martyr Bimal Sinha. The day was observed at the CPI(M) state office located at Melarmath. CPI(M) state secretary Jitendra Choudhury stated that on March 31, 1998, Bimal Sinha, the then Health Minister of the state, was murdered at Abhanga near the Dhalai River in Kamalpur.
Bimal Sinha had become a minister after winning the Kamalpur Assembly constituency by a huge margin. Since 1998, CPI(M) has been observing March 31 as Anti-Terrorism Day. On April 2, the CPI(M) party’s All India State Conference and Party Congress will be held in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. CPI(M) leaders have already set out to participate in the conference in Madurai. The conference will review the current political situation, according to opposition leader Jitendra Choudhury. He mentioned that 48 members from Tripura state will participate as observers in this conference. He further stated that after the BJP government was formed, the country has faced dire political and economic circumstances. Discussions will be held on uniting secular political parties to fight collectively against these issues.
