Agartala: At least six persons were reportedly injured after a clash broke out between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and opposition CPI-M at Dhanpur area in Sonamura sub-division in Sepahijala district on Monday.
Opposition leader and former Tripura chief minister Manik Sarkar was visiting Kathalia to attend a pre-scheduled programme when his convoy was stopped by a group of “miscreants’. Following this, CPI-M workers rushed to the spot, resulting in a clash between the two sides.
Sarkar was accompanied by two local CPI-M MLAs, Shahid Chowdhury and Shyamal Chakraborty when his convoy was stopped. Slogans such as ‘Manik Sarkar go back’, demanding Rose Valley chit fund money, were raised.
