Tripura: IPFT demand Separate State
Pechartal, March 28, 2009(UJI): A tribal based political party named Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura (IPFT), demanded the creation of a separate state carved out of Tripura on 7th March 2009, a move seen as an attempt to whip up emotions ahead of parliamentary elections.
Their demand is that the existing Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) areas should be given the status of a Separate State for the one million indigenous tribal people of Tripura, Mr. Narendra Chandra Debbarma, president of the IPFT reported.
The influx of Bangladeshis, mostly Hindus and Muslim into the TTAADC areas has been on but all the major political parties are ignoring the problem of changing demographic pattern of the tribal dominated region, Mr. Rabindra Kishore Debbarma, General Secretary of the IPFT told reporter.
The ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), the Congress and other political parties have opposed their demand. The demand for a “Separate State” ahead of the Lok Sabha election is nothing but only to create communal tension said CPI-M spokesman Gautam Das. Congress spokesman Tapas Dey also said: The demand for a Separate State will create communal tension in the state where a third of 3.5 million populations are tribal.
