AGARTALA:
The Tipraha Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance (TIPRA) on March 30 held a massive rally in front of Mandwai police station demanding the government to release its party worker Ravi Debbarma who were arrested following vandalism at BJP’s office on March 27.
Speaking to The Meghalayan on March 30, chairman of TTAADC Jagadish Debbarma alleged that the BJP’s party office was set ablaze by its own party workers after a quarrel among members, and the police falsely charged one of TTAADC workers Ravi Debbarma and arrested him.
“But later, the police filed false cases against innocent people and arrested one of our party workers. We demand the police to drop the charges against Ravi and release him,” said Jagadish.
In this regard, TIPRA also submitted a memorandum to the West District Superintendent of Police through the local Madwai police station.
“We earnestly request the concerned authority involved in the investigation to kindly drop the false political charges imposed against the innocent people. We the Indigenous people are peace-loving people and our party was! born out of this principle and ethos, the question of clash and creating political turmoil does not find a place in organisation. Therefore, we appeal to the authorities to kindly see the matter impartially, where we all strive for peace and tranquillity”, the memorandum reads.
The memo also mentioned that Ravi should be given a fair trial to end his police remand.
