SILCHAR, Aug 29: Vandalism in the Cachar Zilla Parishad office in Silchar on Tuesday by suspected members of Gaon Panchayat President Parishad has created much confusion in the district Congress. Arun Dutta Majumdar, district Congress general secretary, alleged that Madhurband GP president Fakrul Islam Majumdar of AUDF led the vandalism and claimed that the Congress GP presidents were not involved in the incident. Incidentally, the police picked up 18 people, including eight Congress GP presidents and Fakhrul Islam, who were later released on bail as Congress MLA from Sonai Kutub Ahmed stood up as the guarantor. When asked as to why the Congress MLA bailed out Fakhrul Islam if he was the main culprit, Dutta Majumdar could not reply suitably. Rather, he targeted APCC spokesman Pradip Dutta Roy, a close man of Rural Development Minister Chandan Brahma. Dutta Majumdar hinted that Dutta Roy played a suspicious role in the entire episode. He further hinted that Dutta Roy wanted to control the DRDA capitalizing his relation with Brahma. Expressing resentment over the role of Cachar DRDA PD Naresh Ghosh, Dutta Majumdar said Ghosh used to undermine the justified demands of the panchayat members. Sources said that it was for Ghosh that the Panchayat Raj failed in Cachar district. (Source – Sentinel Assam)
