AGARTALA:
CPI-M in Tripura was accused of not allowing the entry of a few Muslim families to a local mosque in South Tripura under Shantirbazar sub-division after they joined the BJP recently. The district administration said that they have also been informed about the incident but no formal communication is yet to reach from the deprived family.
Meanwhile, BJP Minority Morcha President Md Jasimuddin stated that the matter was informed to Superintendent of Police (South) detailing the threats and intimidations by the CPI-M cadres. He said about 200 minority people of 25 families residing in Madhyatilla hamlet of Shantirbazar had deserted CPI-M and joined in BJP last month despite strong prevention from the ruling party cadres.
Initially, the residents opposed the fatwa of the imam that asked them not to entre in the mosque because they joined in BJP, which favoured Hinduism and working against Islam, alleged Babul Hossain, a resident of the locality adding that the imam was forced to issue fatwa against them violating Islam code.
