Agartala, May 4: The opposition CPI (M) has threatened to lodgecomplaint with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) forobstructing them in holding programs in Tripura May Day.
The CPI (M) MP in Loksabha and left backed Centre of Indian TradeUnions (CITU) Tripura unit Secretary Sankar Prasad Datta said that theruling BJP workers obstructed them to host the celebration ofInternational Labour Day across the state and in few cases they weremanhandled when tried to observe the day.
“The BJP workers either attacked or prevent CITU leaders and workersagainst holding the events in connection with the celebration in manyplaces of Tripura. The bank employees, tea garden workers, brick kilnworkers and workers of other sectors could not observe theInternational Labour Day following threat from BJP,” Datta alleged.
He said India is the member of the ILO and May Day is the scheduledprogram of them but such violent activities have tarnish the image ofIndia and present government at the centre. Also, such activitiesviolated the basic norms of ILO as a member country.
The BJP denied the CITU allegations, saying that after losing powerthe CPI-M affiliated body cries in vain as they lost the support ofthe workers too was needlessly blaming the saffron part.
“If anything as such happened CITU leaders need to lodge complaintwith police first before moving to ILO. Actually, CPI (M) cadres areperpetrating nuisance across the state just to take revenge of tortureby their leaders. But CPM party could not able to name them becauseall the accused are from their party,” alleged BJP Vice PresidentSubal Bhowmik.
He pointed out that BJP party and none of it’s organisation did notallow such activities or any kind of violence but after CPI (M) lostthe election, the anti-socials and cadres started violence wearingsaffron scurf and caps across the state with the advice of CPI (M)leaders to malign BJP.
“In past two months after election results were announced more than500 such incidents were reported in media by CPI (M) leaders, includingforcing them to step down from the elected bodies but interestingly innone of the case they provide evidence of BJP’s involvement. Whoeverso far has been arrested were belong to CPI (M) till March 3 last andsuddenly change the dress colour but not having primary membership ofBJP, which established that CPIM is doing the mischief to harm BJP,”Bhowmik added.
