Tipra Motha founder and royal scion of Tripura, Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma, on Sunday urged people from the North East residing in New Delhi to join a non-political protest at Jantar Mantar on September 9.
The demonstration, to be led by indigenous people of Tripura, will demand urgent steps against illegal migration and the speedy implementation of the Tiprasa Accord.
In a video message, Pradyot said, “There will be no political flag or political speech, only the Indian flag. Our demand is that the Government of India must think about the future of the indigenous people of Tripura. The Accord has been pending for long despite multiple meetings. We want to know why the implementation is delayed.”
He highlighted the efforts of Tripura youth David Murasing, who walked all the way to Delhi with the same demands.
Pradyot further appealed for unity beyond party lines. “This time it’s not about politics but about solidarity as Tiprasa. Our community must come first. Earlier, when we had nothing, we fought together for the District Council. Today, despite having resources, we lack courage. If you care about your children’s future, you must act now,” he said.
Stating his readiness to “fight, go to jail or even die” for the cause, Pradyot clarified that the movement is not against any community but for the survival of the indigenous people of Tripura.
