“We will organise phase-wise protests in different parts of the state in September with our 15 different demands of increase in manufacture of Covid-19 vaccines, procure of vaccines from other nations, compensation for people who died due to the virus, employment for people and others,” said CPM secretary Goutam Das on Friday.

On a different note, Das criticized BJP legislator Arun Chandra Bhowmik who sparked off controversy by asking his party activists to attack the Trinamool Congress leaders in Talibani style when they land at airport in Agartala.

He also demanded legal action against another BJP legislator Biswabandhu Sen, also deputy speaker of Assembly who landed into controversy last week by saying that some government employees who sit on roads and complained of getting nothing, their bones should be broken.

“We demand legal action against both the legislators,” said Das.
