'National Liberation Front of Twipra' Demands 'Ban' on BJP MP Rebati Tripura

Agartala, December 19, 2019:

The militant organization National Liberation Front of Twipra (NLFT) has urged the people of Tripura to boycott BJP MP Rebati Tripura for voting in favour of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act at the Parliament.

Alleging that the MP Rebati Tripura has 'betrayed' the indigenous people of the state, the banned outfit NLFT, alleged that Rebati Tripura failed to preserve, protect and defend the aspirations of the indigenous people of Tripura.

The NLFT also mentioned that the Act imposes the burden of illegal immigrants of the state and also oppose the rights of indigenous peoples right in Tripura.

In an official statement, the NLFT stated, “The Boroks of the state particularly the voters from the East Twipra LS constituency have every right to ask you as to why, in your conduct as MP, you have failed to preserve, protect, defend the aspiration of the people and abused the mandate, faith and trust reposed in you?”

“They have reason to believe that your conduct in the LS on December 9, 2019 was ‘quid pro quo’: to benefit yourself,” it added.

It added, “As Such dopha has the right to know as to why you shall not be socially boycotted and declared unfit to hold and enjoy any office of honour in the state of Twipra. Let the Borok people take their place in history on the side of honour and say you have betrayed them and let justice be done.”
