Historic TIPRASA accord marks triumph for Tripura’s tribal rights, Amit Shah leads praise

In a groundbreaking event heralded as a turning point for Tripura’s trajectory, the signing of the TIPRASA Accord has received accolades from Home Minister Amit Shah, who commended the collaborative efforts of all stakeholders, notably Pradyot Debbarma, in achieving this landmark agreement. During the ceremony, Home Minister Amit Shah underscored the significance of the accord, emphasizing its role in acknowledging past grievances while forging a path towards a brighter future. “Today, through this accord, we honor history and rectify our errors, charting a course towards progress,” Shah affirmed. The accord, a three-way pact between the Government of India, the Government of Tripura, and the Tipra Motha, signifies a pivotal stride towards addressing longstanding tribal concerns and safeguarding their rights. Shah lauded the constructive engagement of Tipra Motha, tribal parties, and organizations, recognizing their pivotal role in advancing the peace-building process.

Contextualizing within the broader framework of northeastern development, Shah attributed the region’s stability and prosperity to the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He highlighted the series of accords inked during the Modi government’s tenure, including the recent TIPRASA Accord, totaling eleven agreements aimed at fostering peace and development in the Northeast.

Encompassed within the provisions of the TIPRASA Accord is the establishment of a tripartite committee tasked with overseeing its implementation, ensuring the effective realization of its objectives. Notable dignitaries present at the signing ceremony included Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, Member of Parliament Biplab Deb, and Tripura’s Chief Secretary.
