“There is a wave of happiness in the state,” says Tripura CM when asked about lynchings

Tripura chief minister Biplab Deb lands in controversy again after answering a reporter’s question about a series of mob lynchings.“There is a wave of joy in Tripura and you should also enjoy this wave. You should also become happy. Look at my face... I am so happy,” he said. The Tripura government later claimed the CM was misquoted. Three people have been killed in Tripura in the last eight days after rumours about the presence of child abductors in the state.
