Tripura royal scion threatens Amit Shah to move Supreme Court 

Pradyot told media, “I will not compromise CAB by any means as it is against the constitution of India. I demanded Amit Shah to exempt Tripura from this bill like that of other NE states which includes Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland and Manipur.”

He said, “I met Amit Shah ji and apprised him of my oppose to the CAB. I told him that now that the bill is passed in both the houses of the parliament, I shall move to the Supreme Court of India very shortly because I cannot let the illegal thing to go.”

He reiterated that Tripura royal family had given shelter to refugees from neighbouring East Pakistan over the decades. And Tripura is the only state in the northeast to have accepted migrant Hindus more than it’s population in 1971 liberation war of Bangladesh.

Tripura has allowed migrants to come post-partition in 1948, 1955, 1965, 1971 and 1981 and most of them were Hindus. In a state where the indigenous people constituted over 80 per cent of the population, now have been reduced to only 30 per cent, Pradyot said.

The tribal welfare minister and general secretary of BJP’s ally in the government Mevar Kr Jamatia who also met Amit Shah with same demand said that CAB would not be accepted in any form and if centre want to do it let them first create separate Tipraland as IPFT has been demanding for a decade.
