Agartala, May 26: Tipra Motha founder and Chairman of the TTAADC’s Administrative Reforms Committee, Pradyot Kishore Debbarma, has called upon party MLAs, Executive Members (EMs), and members of its frontal organizations to actively identify illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and Rohingyas residing in Tripura, in line with a recent directive from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
In a message shared on social media, Debbarma claimed that the indigenous Tiprasa people have long been demanding action against illegal infiltration, and that the Union Home Ministry has now finally issued instructions to identify and push back such infiltrators within a month.
He attributed this urgency to the ongoing tensions between India and its eastern neighbor.
“The Tipra Motha party already has a case in the Supreme Court demanding the implementation of NRC in Tripura. The continuous infiltration has led to the indigenous population becoming a minority in their own homeland,” Debbarma said.
He further alleged that many infiltrators have managed to acquire Indian documents such as voter ID cards, thereby availing benefits meant for citizens and even influencing electoral outcomes. “This not only endangers the political future of the indigenous people but also poses a serious internal security threat,” he warned.
Debbarma, also the royal scion of Tripura, urged his party workers to cooperate with the administration in identifying such individuals to facilitate appropriate action under the MHA order. “This is the time to act decisively to protect the state and the nation,” he added.
Addressing a recent incident in Gomati district, where the District Magistrate reportedly refused to meet him, Debbarma clarified that the officer belongs to an indigenous community and it should not be targeted over an individual incident.
He appealed for unity among the Tiprasa community, and other non-tribal communities emphasizing the need to stay focused on the larger issue of infiltration.
