Tripura: BJP MLA condemns CM Biplab Deb’s comments

News Desk: Condemning chief minister Biplab Deb’s comment on law in the state, Tripura BJP MLA Ashish Das said that law and democracy are equal for all and the chief minister’s word amounted to contempt of court.

He said “Here, it is said that there is the rule of law. But unfortunately, no rule of law is to be seen here”

“I am a staunch opponent of the CPM. I am a BJP MLA. But it should be remembered that law and democracy are equal for all” he added.
