Agartala, Sep18 (UNI) The BJP led state government has agreed to withdraw the cases against IPFT workers involved in recent attack on BJP MLA Birendra Kishore Debbarma in Golaghati and a few other incidents in Jampui sub-division in Sepahijala district of West Tripura.
The IPFT workers had launched fresh agitation in Golaghati and Jampuijala area on September 16 to press for the demand. They had blocked the roads and from yesterday IPFT went for indefinite strike in the area - a day after the decision of ceasefire between BJP and IPFT over the ongoing hatchet in relation to the selection of chairman of block advisory committee (BAC) and filing of nomination in panchayat by-poll.
A group of IPFT supporters along with women went to police station for releasing the accused persons of attacking MLA Debbarma last week and later blocked the major roads of the area. A number cases have been registered against IPFT cadres in the last few months allegedly for perpetrating violence in different parts of the state.
