The Communist Party of India (Marxist), Congress and other political parties demanded on Tuesday (March 18, 2025) to cancel the “highly demeaning and very offensive” remarks by Tripura Minister Sudhangshu Das.

The ally of the ruling Bharatiya Janata party, Tipra Motha Party (TMP), also criticized Mr Das, who held a planned portfolio of caste welfare, fisheries and animal resources development, comparing several parties with Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb with an “offensive comment”.

Jitendra Chaudhury, secretary of the Tripura CPI (M) and opposition leader, said the minister introduced social media to the massacres of Aurangzeb against Hindus, marathons and Sikhs, rather than destroying many temples.

He said the minister accused political parties, such as Congress, Samajwadi and the leftists, of Aurangzeb’s “Islamic atrocities, fanaticism, fanaticism, Dakot, dacoity, dacoity, dacoity, dacoitizity, barbaric brutal violence and veterinary violence” and demanded that “democratic citizens” put dangers against the dangers in these countries.

Mr. Das also wrote to the master tegh bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru and chhatrapati sambhaji maharaj were executed by Aurangzeb because he resisted the conversion to Islam.

In a letter to Indra Sena Reddy Nallu, Mr. Choudhury said that a minister who vowed to uphold the values ​​of the constitution pushed society towards instability and instability toward such “dangerous division” and “public” rhetoric. He said the minister’s remarks were unconstitutional, immoral, unjust and criminal.

The CPI(M) leader demanded the removal of the minister’s strike, and he said Mr. Darth was used to making “abnormal” comments.

Senior Congress leader and former minister Birajit Sinha said the minister’s comments could be removed from social media platforms as early as possible. “The minister made similar comments earlier, affecting the Indian-Muslim relations in Tripura,” he told reporters in the capital Agartala.

TMP Chief Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma said: “People who are sworn in should avoid making such statements.

Tripura Insaf Parishad, a Muslim organization, has requested a legal lawsuit against Mr Das. The group filed a lawsuit against him in the Unakoti area, accusing him of inciting public hatred through social media.
