The Tripura CM further said that political violence in the state will not be tolerated.
“I wish to remind the CPM that in our New Tripura such violent political behaviour will not be tolerated by its people,” Deb said.
He added: “It will be my utmost endeavour to identify and punish each miscreant as per law. Peace is and will be a non-negotiable tenet of BJP led government.”
“I have also heard disturbing reports of an attack on the office of a media outlet. Media is fourth pillar of our democracy and should be respected by all. We will identify those behind the attack & ensure speedy justice. I stand with all my media friends in solidarity,” the Tripura chief minister further said.
