BJP accuses Tripura minister of offering red salute to martyr

Agartala, Dec 05 (UNI) The BJP Tripura State Committee today demanded expulsion of Forest Minister Naresh Jamatia from the cabinet for showing alleged disrespect to Nagrota army martyr Chittaranjan while paying tribute to him during his last rites.
BJP Spokesperson Mrinal Kanti Deb alleged that Mr Jamatia offered red salute to the martyred in communist style and addressed him as comrade who had sacrificed his life for the nation.
“Jamatia was representing an elected government in the last rite of the brave soul. Neither the martyred was a communist nor it was a programme of communism. Violating all protocol, Jamatia offered red salute in the presence of India Army who bid gun salute to the martyred,” Mr Deb alleged.
