In a significant political development, the Chief Election Commissioner assured the Tipra Motha Party (TMP) that a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls will take place across all states, with special focus on Tripura. TMP leader Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma highlighted the need for this revision amid growing concerns about illegal immigration.
This assurance came after a crucial meeting in New Delhi, where a TMP delegation met with Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Aligning with the BJP-led coalition in Tripura, TMP’s demand for an electoral overhaul aims to prevent potential infiltration and ensure accurate voter representation in the state.
Debbarma warned that unchecked immigration could threaten the survival of Tiprasa (indigenous) people in their own land, posing a risk to national security. TMP has urged the Election Commission to detect and deport illegal immigrants, seeking serious action to protect Tripura’s integrity and cultural heritage.
