In an unseemly incident, a group of allegedly unruly BJP workers and
supporters on Friday attempted to physically assault sitting CPI (M)
(Boxanagar) Shahid Chowdhury and ADC member Parikshit Murasingh in
Kalikhala village market under Kathalia block in Sonamura subdivision.
It
was informed that Shahid and Parikshit were grossly abused and attempts
were made to physically attack them, however, presence of police
personnel prevented the attackers from causing any physical damage to
the duo.
The duo were later given safe passage.
Police
sources said that yesterday the CPI (M) had organized a sit-in
demonstration at Kalikhala village market under Kathalia block to press
for a charter of demands in support of tribals, rural people and
farmers.
As the sit-in demonstration progressed, a large number of
alleged BJP supporters gathered close to the demonstration site and
shouted counter-slogans against the opposition party. There was a police
presence in the market place, so no untoward incident could take place.
