AGARTALA, Jan 30 (TIWN): Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar while addressing in his own constituency of Dhanpur said, "Just like 'Ratan-e Ratan Chene' (a Bengali proverb), BJP also knows IPFT". "If BJP had not promised on IPFT, why have they
aligned with them ? BJP's work is to create division across the country either in the name of religion or communal issues. BJP's aligning with IPFT just symbolizes both the parties ideological similarities. BJP on the one side is backing Hindu-Muslim's tension and on the other side it's trying to emerge a clash among Tribal and Bengali", said Sarkar. 'BJP is trying to catch fish from the muddy water which at the long run would not help them", added CM.However, when Manik Sarkar was addressing at Dhanpur against IPFT to prove CPI-M as symbol of 'brotherhood' at the same time, he skipped to talk on ATTF, the terrorist group made by CPI-M in Tripura just as naxals in West Bengal and other states.

A Naxal or Naxalite is a member of Communist Party of India. The term Naxal derives from the name of the village Naxalbari in West Bengal, where the movement had its origin.

The All Tripura Tiger Force is a Tripuri nationalist insurgent group active in the Tripura region of India. It was founded on July 11, 1990, by a group of former Tripura National Volunteer members under the leadership of Ranjit Debbarma.

Recently, in another rally Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar directly said, "How many NLFT activists are existing in Bangladesh, we know. Some of them are now married and have taken shelter in rents here and there but they are also directly connected to terrorism".

After CM stressed upon such a sensitive issue, question raises, why knowing fully well that NLFTs are existing, the Home Minister is not taking any initiative to bother the matter to Central Govt. Is this election is the only concern that stopping both the Home Ministers to sit together ?

Manik Sarkar however, in own support said, "If sitting in Tripura, we know about all these, why the Central Govt can't who are at power ?"

 Addressing a rally at Jirania, Sarkar said, "NLFT is residing at Bangladesh. In a huge number they are. How many of them are residing in camps and how many are not residing in camps after marriage we know it very well", added Sarkar.

 "IPFT and NLFT have full connections. NLFT also has announced to support IPFT in the election and BJP now is aligning with them. Prime Minister is meeting those leaders", said Sarkar.

"Left Govt is assuring the public about an undivided Tripura at any cost. If need repart them from constituencies", Sarkar added.

'BJP earlier in various means tried to gain vote banks but failed totally and then it took  the shelter of IPFT like parties who have called for Independent Tripura', said Sarkar.
