ON September 8, Tripura witnessed widespread attacks on CPI(M) offices and the houses of CPI(M) cadres across the state.  More than a score of offices were burnt down or ransacked.  Even the state committee office in Agartala was not spared.  Vehicles in front of the offices were burnt. Many houses of Party leaders and activists were set on fire or ransacked.  These coordinated attacks by mobs of BJP men were meant to suppress the CPI(M) and stop its activities among the people.

These fascistic type of attacks are an onslaught on democracy and a brutal attempt to suppress the opposition. The Party in Tripura is not going to be cowed down by such terror tactics.

This is the time to show solidarity and support to the state unit of the CPI(M) and its courageous ranks.

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) calls upon all Party units to conduct a mass campaign to collect funds for the Tripura Party. The money so collected will be in Party’s valiant effort to fight back this terror in Tripura and to strengthen its organisation.

The funds collected should be sent as follows:

Cheques to be made out to “Communist Party of India (Marxist)” and sent to: CPI(M) Central Committee office, A K Gopalan Bhawan, 27-29 Bhai Vir Singh Marg, Gole Market, New Delhi – 110 001.
