In a release issued, the BJP’s Tura unit alleged that the actions taken by the SP and DC Tura has created a sense of fear and uncertainty among the party karyakartas and supporters across Garo Hills. The BJP release added that the party karyakartas in Tura city are in constant fear of facing police atrocities as they are allegedly being threatened of being jailed.

The Tura BJP also sought the intervention of the Meghalaya Governor and the party’s central leadership into the situation.
