Tripura Pradesh Congress on Friday demanded an unconditional public apology from Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb for calling Congress ‘sly fox’, ‘thief’ ‘satan’ and said his use of unparliamentary words showed his ignorance of decorum of dignified speech.
“….BJP’s Tripura Pradesh President and Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb used objectionable words like ‘broker’, ‘sly fox’ and ‘thief’ while speaking about the Congress party and return of former BJP Tripura vice president Subal Bhowmik to Congress……..we vehemently condemn these unparliamentary use of words from the honourable Chief Minister, which is most unbecoming of a leader of his stature”, a statement issued by the Pradesh Congress said this evening.
In his address to a gathering here a few days back, Chief Minister Deb called Congress leaders ‘traitors’, ‘band of satan’ and claimed they have come to eat the fruits of success in a Communist-free state. His comments came close to Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Tripura two days back.
