09 Aug 2016 Evaluate

Demanding a proper inquiry into Kalikho Pul's alleged suicide, Assam unit of Congress said BJP's ‘undemocratic and twisting politics’ have claimed the life of the former Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister. Leader of Opposition in Assam Assembly Debabrata Saikia said that he (Pul) was a victim of undemocratic practices of BJP. He was a very simple person and was not used to such twisting of politics by such a big political party. He added that the ups and downs in last eight months have actually claimed Pul's life.

Saikia said that when he drifted away from Congress with some colleagues, BJP and NEDA (North East Democratic Alliance) claimed it as a grand success on Pul's shoulder. He said Pul was a good and sincere Congress worker, who served the party well for a long time. The senior Congress leader said that with their aggressive politics, BJP tried to destabilise the governance. The region is not accustomed to such practices.

Demanding a proper inquiry into circumstances behind his death, Deputy Congress Legislature Party leader Rakibul Hussain said the news of Pul's demise was very ‘sad, sudden and shocking’. The former Congress Minister said that ‘We are getting contradictory reports on how he died. We demand that an appropriate enquiry should take place. Only a proper probe will ascertain if it was a suicide or there was some foul play’.
