Tripura Tribal parties declare indefinite strike from Dec 9 against CAB

Agartala | Saturday | 7th December, 2019

Summary:

JMCAB is an umbrella organisation of tribal parties and indigenous social organisations, which was floated to oppose the CAB. Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura (INPT), National Conference of Tripura (NCT) and Tipraland State Party (TSP) have come together to form this new platform. Even if the 6th Schedule areas are exempted, accepting more non-tribals will only lead to a crisis of existence for the indigenous tribals. “We shall protest the Bill and observe an indefinite strike across Tripura from December 9,” Jagadish said. IPFT general secretary Mangal Debbarma said in a press conference on Saturday they don't agree with the Centre's CAB formula..
