Tripura: TIPRA Motha to call for one-day bandh to press for Greater Tripura
First Published: 22nd September, 2023 18:14 IST
Pradyot Debbarma emphasised on unity in seeking central government's accountability
In a bid to press for their demand for a separate tribal state known as Greater Tripura, Pradyot Kishore Debbarma, the founder of TIPRA Motha, announced plans for a one-day bandh in Tripura. The specific date for the bandh will be announced soon.
Debbarma had held a meeting at the TTAADC headquarters in Khumulwng with Motha MLAs, including Opposition Leader Animesh Debbarma, and other senior leaders. They discussed their future strategy and emphasized the need for a united front.
“We have decided to organize a one day bandh-call. The date and location will be announced by tomorrow. Our demand is for TIPRASA, for the betterment of all communities in Tripura. We believe that when we speak with one voice, the central government will take our concerns seriously,” said Pradyot Debbarma.
He highlighted the importance of developing the Tiprasa community to ensure the overall development of Tripura. Debbarma expressed disappointment that promises made by the BJP in their manifesto regarding indigenous community development had not been fulfilled. He attributed this partly to the lack of unity among tribal leaders during their visits to Delhi.
“You cannot develop Tripura if you don’t develop Tiprasa, the manifesto given by BJP and promised by them was not even fulfilled yet”, added Pradyot Debbarma
While discussions with the Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi were deemed positive, Debbarma stressed the necessity of maintaining pressure to ensure that the government fulfils their constitutional rights.
On August 26, Pradyot Debbarma met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi. BJP Northeast co-ordinator Sambit Patra shared a picture of the meeting in X (formerly known as Twitter) and said, “Shri Pradyot Manikya Ji had a fruitful meeting with Hon’ble Home Minister Shri Amit Shah Ji in Delhi today. They discussed the ongoing talks and the rights and welfare of the indigenous people. It has been the vision of the prime minister to secure the rights and empower the tribals of Tripura and the rest of the country.”
