“Seeing the violence against Minorities is perhaps one of the most shameful chapters in my political life! I don’t see any logical reason for such retaliation to what is happening in Bangladesh,” chairman of TIPRA Motha Pradyot Debbarma said.
He further urged all to maintain peace and not resort to any “acts of mindless violence”.
“I urge all who are indulging in acts of mindless violence to learn something from our indigenous Tiprasa people who have not hurt or targeted any Muslim minorities. There are incidents of violence against Tiprasa people in Bangladesh as well but we have learnt to live together,” he added.
