AGARTALA: Protesting against the implementation of citizenship amendment act (CAA), former chairman of Tipra Motha party Pradyot Debbarma, on Thursday (June 06), said that his party will not allow more Bangladeshi people in Tripura as the state has no space to accommodate any more.
During a program of Tipra Motha party, Pradyot Debbarma said that he is the only one from Tripura, who first filed a case against CAA.

“The CPIM has asked why I am silent on CAA, but when CAA passed, no one from Tripura filed a case with the Supreme Court, but I did. I am fighting against CAA. The bill was passed in parliament. We must revoke this bill, and only the apex court can do this,” he said.
Pradyot claimed that the stance between him and CPI-M in Tripura is very different.
“My stand is whoever entered Tripura illegally cannot be resettled here. We have already given land to many people before. Many people from Bangladesh came to Tripura, but now we will not allow it,” he said.

The Tipra leader added: “The state has no space to accommodate any more. We have already became minority in our own land. BJP is working for their vote bank, and so is CPI-M, but our position is clear. Our fight is not against anyone but for our people.”
“We must ask Delhi, and they must respond to us. But yes, there should be a way. Our demand is for a constitutional solution. We must continue our fight,” the Tipra leader said.
