Congress observes Modi government's 4th anniversary as 'Vishwasghat Divas'
Agartala, May 26 : As part of its nation-wide programme, the Congress in Tripura held protest rallies in different parts of Tripura on Saturday to observe the "Vishwasghat Divas" on the 4th anniversary of the Narendra Modi-led BJP government.
Congress leader Gopal Roy said that the "Vishwasghat Divas" (betrayal day) was observed to highlight the failure of pre-poll promises and miss-governance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led government at the Centre.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not fulfil any of his pre-poll tall promises including providing two crore jobs per year to the youths," Roy told the media after a protest rally here.
He said that the party, as part of observance of "Vishwasghat Divas", held protests, rallies and dharna in every district of the country on Saturday.
"After the BJP government came to power four years ago, people in general living in much suffering and the masses, specially the minority people are passing their days with a great fear and panic as series of attacks unleashed on them," the Congress leader said.
Roy, a three-time former Congress MLA, said that in Tripura, without following legal and democratic process, the BJP government in the state autocratically bulldozed a large number of party offices of the Congress and its frontal organisations.
"Some of the Congress offices are 70 years old and have valid official documents. Even the West Tripura District Magistrate and Collector did not follow the court orders against the demolitions," said Roy, adding the BJP-led alliance government's functioning in Tripura is "worse than the British rule".
Officials said the district administrations since May 7 demolished some party offices of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) and the Congress as these were built on government land.

Meerut Police to issue 'red card' notices to 100 'troublemakers' ahead of Eid
Meerut (UP) (PTI): Ahead of Eid, the Meerut Police have identified around 100 individuals as potential law and order concerns and plan to issue them "red card" notices, an official said on Saturday.
Cases have previously been registered against these individuals on charges of causing disturbances or creating tense situations during festivals, they said.
A red card notice is primarily a preventive tool used to identify, track, and deter criminals and troublemakers.
Senior Superintendent of Police Avinash Pandey told PTI that in order to ensure a peaceful Eid, coordination with all Islamic clerics and mosque management committees has been established.
He said that officials have held discussions with the management of the district's 544 mosques and 146 Eidgahs, and all of them have given assurances that prayers will not be offered on the roads under any circumstances.
The SSP also refuted reports which had quoted him as stating that the passports of those offering prayers on roads or violating regulations would be revoked.
He clarified that no such new directive has been issued by the administration.
However, Pandey added that if any individual violates the law, strict action will certainly be taken against them.
Superintendent of Police (City) Ayush Vikram Singh told PTI that records from the past five years of individuals involved in creating disputes or tense situations during festivals have been reviewed.
Red card notices will be issued to approximately 100 such people, he said.
He noted that individuals from any religious background could be included in this list.
He explained that the notices would serve as a warning that if any attempt is made to disrupt the atmosphere during or around the time of Eid.
A case will be registered against the concerned individual, and strict action will be taken. If deemed necessary, measures may also be initiated under the National Security Act (NSA).
According to police, during Eid last year, an incident involving a scuffle with the police -- stemming from the breaking of barricades and offering of prayers on the roads -- was reported within the jurisdiction of the Railway Road police station area.
In this case, a complaint was registered against around 55 individuals, some of whom are likely to be served with the red card notice.
