AGARTALA, Dec 23 (TIWN): BJP MP Rebati Tripura who recently alleged serious threats to him by banned terrorist organization ‘National Liberation Front of Tripura’ (NLFT) is for a “testimony” before his State media testifying an email history where NLFT has threatened him to kill due to his voting in support of Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), successfully converting it into an Act. Calling media in this early morning, Rebati Tripura has displayed how dangerous the Anti-CAB rows are leading towards by issuing press release against an elected legislature. Rebati Tripura said, “This is really a matter of concern when a banned terrorist organization is active again”. Addressing media, Rebati Tripura said that there is whip in every party and if anyone votes against that whip, what would be the outcome is known to all.

Tripura pointed out, “I just not followed the instruction blindly only due to political direction but also I think CAA can stop further illegal migrations. I am continuously trying to develop my people by arranging more infrastructure in the ADC area form railway to roadway and schools, colleges”.

Reacting over the CAA, Rebati Tripura said, “Central Govt knows very well about the insecurity of the indigenous people whereas CAA will not be imposed in the indigenous / ADC areas”.

The National Liberation Front of Tripura is a banned terrorist organisation based in Tripura, India. It has an estimated 550 to 850 members. The NLFT seeks to secede from India and establish an independent Tripuri state, and is an active participant in the Insurgency in Northeast India. The banned rebel outfit National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) has sent a notice on East Tripura MP and BJP leader Rebati Tripura, accusing him of 'betraying' the indigenous people by voting in support of Citizenship (Amendment) Bill in Parliament.

NLFT also stated that the MP should be socially boycotted.
The letter, signed by NLFT secretary general D Uomthai, stated that Rebati was unfit to be an MP.

According to the letter, because the MP supported the CAB so he is a traitor as at a time when illegal immigrants are 'tearing apart' the lives, culture and economy of tribal people in Tripura.

Reacting over the letter, MP Rebati Tripura said, “I didn’t betray anybody of my community. I do believe that my step further has strengthened the chances of further immigrations and also to stop them who are illegally entered in this country”.
