But they were denied permission to hold the rally by the local police in apprehensions of breach of law and order breach.
Aggrieved by the alleged “partial role of the police department” the Tripura Congress workers staged a road blockade in front of Jirania school.
Police said, “We informed the Tripura Congress workers that due to law and order situation we can’t allow any political event as the major share of our police force is engaged in law and order duty in the run up to Independence Day celebrations.”
Tripura Congress leader Sudip Roy Barman while addressing a small gathering said, “The police is playing into the hands of ruling party workers. We applied for permission on August 09, but they did not allow us saying that till August 10 BJP has a set of pre-scheduled events. Now after August 10, when we reached here, they are telling us they can’t give us security. The police are clearly working to please their political masters.”
