Tribal bodies reject demand for a separate state
Agartala: Major tribal bodies in Tripura today rejected the demands for a separate state in the name of ‘Twipraland' by carving out the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council. We want more development for the tribal community and we oppose any kind of demand in ethnic line which would divide the state,” President of TYF and CPI-M MLA Pranab Debbarma said. Recently, the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura, a breakaway faction of Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura, has demanded for a separate state carving out the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council. When contacted, Assistant General Secretary of INPT and President of Indigenous Youth Federation of Tripura, Rajeswar Debbarma said, “We oppose the demand for Twipraland, because it is not the right demand in right time for development and empowerment of the tribals in the state.” “We want conducive atmosphere for empowerment of the tribal council.
