This decision came following a party meeting at Agartala Press Club. 

However, this has raised gender-discrimination question and replying media questions IPFT Tipraha Vice President Budhu Debbarma said that when a man marries his children will get his title (surname) but if woman marries other community's man then the tribal community can not increase and that's why girls should not be allowed to marry other community's people and if so then their ST status will be snatched.

According to IPFT Tipraha as soon as a girl marries to non-tribal she must be outcasted from ST community legally as it has been seen even though they are married to non-tribals but enjoying all benefits, business without taxes. Addressing media, Budhu Debbarma said, “The tribals in Tripura day by day becoming from 'minority' to 'least-minority'. So our demand is to create a Tipraha (new state) with the 6th schedule areas. It has to be given soon or we’ll be continuing our movement. Another issue is the ST women who have married with non-ST they should be out from ST status".

IPFT-Tipraha demanded, in the Assembly a new law should be immediately implemented for that so that Tribal girls who are married to Non-Tribals can be removed from ST  facilities. 

Before the meeting during Statehood Day celebration, Budhu Debbarma said, "At Meghalaya also same going is to happen with Kashi women. But here, ST women after marrying non-ST people are enjoying all the benefits and not giving taxes", Budhu Debbarma added. 

Budhu Debbarma also claimed, "Above 1 lakh people in Tripura are foreigners which had come out earlier by election commission. So, we IPFT Tipraha also demand the NRC’s implementation in Tripura", slamming IPFT (main) President NC Debbarma saying, "They (IPFT-main) have fooled tribals in the name of Tipraland but in reality neither Tipraland nor NRC they want.

IPFT today has also announced Aghore Debbarma as new Party President.
