Mumbai: Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Sushmita Dev on Monday alleged that her party workers are facing heavy violence in Tripura and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to send the Director General of Police (DGP) back to the state.

“Prime Minister of India the least you can do is send the DGP of Tripura back to his state where there is complete chaos. The DGP conference can wait. We the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) official workers are facing intense violence. #TripuraDeservesBetter,” she said in a tweet.

Trinamool leader Derek O’Brien said a total of 16 MPs arrived in New Delhi today to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the alleged attacks on party leaders in Tripura.

Tension has escalated in Tripura following violent incidents in the wake of elections to the Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) and 12 other municipal bodies on November 25.

The TMC had earlier alleged that several people were injured after the attack on the residence of Trinamool Congress’ Tripura unit steering committee chief Subal Bhowmik in Agartala’s Bhagwan Thakur Chowmuni area on Sunday.

The MPs will sit on a dharna in the national capital from Monday morning against the arrest of Trinamool Youth Congress chief Sayoni Ghosh by the Tripura Police. Ghosh was arrested on Sunday for allegedly creating a ruckus at a public meeting where Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb was present.
