The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) expresses its deep shock and strong condemnation of the brutal killing of three CPI(M) and Gana Mukti Parishad leaders in Longthorai valley sub-division in Dhalai district of Tripura. The NLFT has brutally killed three members of the CPI(M) divisional committee — Aswini Debbarma, Bidyajoy Reang and Kalendra Chakma.
