In a recent interview with the Indian Express, Debbarma had said that there cannot be different rules for different States in the country when it comes to citizenship.
“Implement NRC and the demand for a separate state will dilute, people demanding Tipraland are doing so because they feel they have lost all rights within the state of Tripura,” he had stated.
Debbarma further said that they are asking for their constitutional right as an Indian.
“And if the government of India is earnest, they will take measures to ensure that genuine Indians get first preference compared to illegal migrants,” he said.
The NRC update process is going in Assam under the direct monitoring of the Supreme Court.
This is being implemented to detect, detain and deport illegal migrants by verifying the details of every person in the State.
