AGARTALA, Aug 28 (TIWN): Tripura Pradesh ST congress unit on Sunday urged to maintain peace and tranquillity in the state which was hampered due to the IPFT’s mass rally. Addressing the press meet, ST congress member urged to the tribal people to come back to city who are running out of the city due to fear.
We appeal to all to maintain peace and calm,” the party said in a statement.
It is to be mentioned here that Pradesh congress have demanded Judiciary Enquiry in the 23rd August mayhem as early as possible.
The IPFT, a tribal based party, today took out a procession in the city demanding ‘Twipra land’ – a separate state for the tribals – by carving out the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) from the state.
The tribal council constitutes two third of the state territory and is home to tribals who form one third of the population. The rest of the state’s population are considered migrants.
On the other hand the ruling CPI(M) condemned the activities of IPFT supporters and alleged it was a “preplanned conspiracy to disrupt the communal harmony of the state”.
The IPFT is trying to disrupt the communal harmony since long. Today’s incident was preplanned and aimed at breaking the communal harmony and peace in the state.
