Tripura–TMC leader Sushmita Dev expresses anger against the Tripura police, condemning them for invoking the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act or UAPA charges against 102 Twitter accounts. The Police have asked Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to stop these accounts and provide details about the account users.
Sushmita Dev, who served as the Congress party’s women’s wing president, resigned in August 2021 and joined Trinamool Congress.
Addressing ANI news, Dev expressed that TMC condemns such acts and clearly states that it can’t face intolerance and violence against any community.
But, the Tripura Police has said that things are generally fine in the state; and nothing is wrong. As of late, they have booked 102 journalists and commentators for commenting on Twitter under the UAPA act.
