“It has been informed AK Mishra this morning to me that he has to rush down to Manipur because of the situation there and will be coming to Tripura after handling the crisis there. We understand the gravity of the situation there and will be waiting for the next date of announcement. I will be meeting the Home Minister as scheduled on the 10th of this month”, said Pradyot.

“Many people laughed at me and when the interlocutor will arrive here, everything will be clear. I will continue my fight for a constitutional solution for the indigenous people of Tripura. And this fight is not for me but for my community”, said Pradyot.

Pradyot also called for an emergency meeting of the Tipra Motha leaders including the elected and non-elected members to decide the future course of our actions.
