The ongoing first council session of the newly formed Tripura Tribal Areas and Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) administration on Friday passed the TIPRA Motha’s ‘Greater Tipraland’ bill unopposed, said the TIPRA Motha chief also the state’s royal scion Maharaja Pradyot Kishore Deb Barman.
Soon after the bill is passed today Pradyot has addressed a gathering outside the council session and said, “We have sent a message to Delhi by getting our uncompromised Greater Tipraland bill passed in the first council session of TTAADC.”
He said, “Most importantly the bill for Greater Tipraland is passed today unopposed as no elected council members of the BJP party has passed comment on the bill during the session.”
“Now that the bill is passed today we shall not compromise with anything. Once we get the Greater Tipraland, every indigenous area or village which is today outside the TTAADC shall be included in Greater Tipraland,” Pradyot said.
Meanwhile, talking tough on BJP’s alliance partner in government – IPFT’s call for ‘Tipraland’, Pradyot said, “I do not lie like N C Debbarma like leaders who fooled our indigenous people in the name of Tipraland.”
“Passing of the bill for Greater Tipraland is the first step towards reaching our target of achieving it for the welfare of the indigenous people of our state,” adding to this Pradyot said, “A ‘greater celebration’ will be held “when we will get our Greater Tipraland.”
Pradyot had formed TIPRA after resigning as the president of the Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee in 2019 when he had fallout with the Congress on a case he had filed in the Supreme Court demanding the implementation of the National Register for Citizen (NRC) in Tripura.
