Agartala, Nov 9 :Tipra Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Debbarma, who recently announced his decision to step away from active politics, on Monday welcomed the formation of a committee to examine land-related issues in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), urging people to refrain from drawing premature conclusions before its recommendations are submitted.
Speaking to reporters at Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) Airport here shortly after his arrival, Debbarma said the committee had been given one month to complete its examination and submit recommendations, and should be allowed to function within the stipulated timeframe.
He said it would be inappropriate to comment on the committee’s scope, functioning or possible recommendations before it completed its work.
“The committee should be allowed to complete its work first. Once the recommendations are submitted, we will examine them carefully before deciding our position and communicating our views,” he said.
The Tipra Motha founder said the focus should be on moving forward rather than remaining preoccupied with past developments. Protecting the rights of the next generation and safeguarding the interests of the people of Tripura should be the primary objectives while addressing land-related concerns, he added.
Debbarma also stressed that any approach to resolving the issue should ensure that no section of society faces difficulties.
Reiterating his support for the committee’s formation, he urged all stakeholders to wait for its findings before making assessments or commenting on the possible outcome.
The state government recently constituted a committee to examine various land-related issues concerning the TTAADC following discussions with Debbarma. The panel has been asked to submit its recommendations within a month.
During the interaction, Debbarma also appealed to people to rise above political differences and contribute towards creating a peaceful and harmonious social environment.
Referring to the upcoming Christmas celebrations and the New Year, he said people should focus on the future and the welfare of the next generation instead of remaining occupied with political debates and disagreements.
He emphasised the need for collective efforts to build an inclusive society, saying the interests and rights of future generations should remain central while addressing issues concerning the state.
