BARAMURA HILLS / AGARTALA, July 20 (TIWN): Tripura BJP's bold stand against State's further division poured cold water into CPI-M instigated IPFT's separatist 'Tipraland' movement. On Thrusday 9am, IPFT was forced to lift NH-8 blockade as that’s a precondition by Central Govt before beginning any talks on further TTAADC powers or proposed separate State ‘Tipraland’. These 10 days blockade of Tripura’s lifeline NH-8 again shown the hidden agenda of communists as CPI-M wanted to flare up communal divide before upcoming elections in Feb’2018.

N.C.Debbarma’s IPFT faction hardly represents 5% of Tripura Tribals, neither represents majority so multiple Tribal leaders blasted IPFT for immature politics demanding separate State before 6 months of Assembly election. 

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Junior Home Minister Kiren Rijiju refused to meet these few separatists even though they camped at Delhi since a week under the supervision of few CPI-M and Congress leaders. However after IPFT blockade ending, BJP State President Biplan Deb in a Press meet on Thrusday hinted that Centre will meet IPFT in coming days so that CPI-M's evil game with Tribal-Bengali divisive politics bites dust. Union Home Ministry's timely intervention after Sunil Deodhar's briefing saved Tripura from another turbulent era of CPI-M's negative politics.

Even frail royal scion Pradyot Kishore jumped into these melee to back up N.C.Debbarma’s fractured IPFT even though both knows that they have no political future in Tripura. Tripura BJP Observer Sunil Deodhar said few days back, "If IPFT's blockade is not withdrawn within next 48 hours, then BJP will block Chief Minister Manik Sarkar's movements". BJP's strong action paralyzed CM's movement which forced CPI-M, IPFT's back-off from 'Tipraland' drama.

"We are extremely unhappy, angry with the blockade created a collapsing condition of transport, health, education in Tripura. Even today when Indigenous people were celebrating Ker Puja, the IPFT didn't allow its own people to enjoy the ceremony. What kind of Indigenous people's leader they are?".

Blasting the Chief Minister 4 days back, Deodhar said, "7 days have been gone but the Chief Minister has no concerns at all, rather making the issue as a joke Bijan Dhar sat with his allegation of BJP/ IPFT nexus. BJP does not keep relation with the dividers who want separate state".

"Thus we are giving 48 hours to IPFT and the ruling party to stop the blockade in the name of democratic right. Or we are going to block Chief Minister's movement to let him understand how it feels when you being in your place you can not move", said Deodhar. About the meeting of IPFT with DoNER Minister Sunil Deodhar said that such people when go at Delhi they stay very sweet but after coming back they spread lie saying 'we met home minister etc'.

Addressing further with BJP proposed State Council, Jishnu Dev Varman said state council is nothing but will give tribals scope to developing overall.

In demand of a separate Tipraland, Tripura tribal party IPFT has continued a strike over National Highway and Railway from July 10 at Baramura.

The road blockade was begun with the demand of a separate land Tipraland since Monday morning and denied to withdraw the strike unless state is separated. On Tuesday as a part of agitation IPFT had burnt tires, raised slogan of ‘No Tipraland, No Rest’ and on Wednesday IPFT also held a naked rally & this is the 6th day of their blockade.

On Thrusday morning State Govt under the strict instruction of Central Govt and Central forces has taken down Internet and SMS services so that IPFT's evil axis cannot spread false propaganda.

Surprisingly Chief Minister Manik Sarkar stayed as a passive onlooker for 10 days - due to BJP's Sunil Deodhar and Governor Tathagata Roy's intervention IPFT was forced to end this destructive strike.
