"The most brazen attack was on the state committee office in Agartala. They have ransacked the ground and first floors of the office burnt two office cars and broken the bust of Dasarath Deb, a revered leader of the people of Tripura," he stated.

"It is to be noted that the police who were present at many of these venues remained silent bystanders. In the case of state committee office, some CRPF jawans were present in front of the office but they were withdrawn an hour before the attack began," Yechury alleged.

The former Rajya Sabha MP alleged that the impunity with which the attackers operated shows the "connivance" of the state government.

"These attacks took place because the ruling party has tried and failed to suppress the activities of the main Opposition in the state," he said.

"The failure of the police, if not connivance, to check the violence and book the culprits makes it imperative that the Central Government act to enforce the Constitutional principles," he stated. (ANI)
