He added, “For 70 years some people have termed the Tiprasa community as terrorist and violent let those people not get another chance to call us names. We should protest democratically and peacefully. Tomorrow I will meet leaders from a lot of the above parties in Agartala and if the Bill is tabled and passed in the Parliament we will take this matter with the best lawyers available in India to the Supreme Court unitedly. In Unity, there should be no Politics only #PuilaJatiUloParty.”
