Tripura royal scion calls for unity to fight against illegal immigrants

Agartala, July 7 (UNI) Calling for greater unity for sustainable future of the next generation of Tripura, royal scion and founder of BJP’s ally TIPRA Motha Pradyot Kishore Debbarman, today appealed all political parties to unite in the fight against illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.
Addressing a rally here against illegal migration from Bangladesh in Agartala, Pradyot said this was not just my fight, not only Motha’s fight but a fight of all Indians. When illegal migration takes place, the future of the next generations is spoiled.
“We should not indulge in vote-bank politics so far as infiltration is concerned, and everyone must unite against illegal immigration,” he pointed out and added that his party doesn’t believe in community based politics, but a group continuously carried out a malicious campaign against TIPRA Motha to create a divide between tribal and non-tribal.
