AGARTALA, Jan 23 (TIWN): Much controversial speech delivered by Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb on a national holiday. On the occasion of Freedom Fighter Netaji Subash Chandra Bose’s birth anniversary, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb said that the opposition leaders were once again identified during Anti-CAA protests and in 2024 Lok Sabha Election they may not get seats even to battle the Election. Questions are being raised over CM’s statement whether he is talking about political intrigues or NRC like traps and BJP’s plan to put them in those traps. CM said, “I can tell your firmly that when in 2019 total 303 seats have been gotten by BJP in 2024 it will be tough for others to get seats. They will not get seats as they are already identified because people have seen their faces during CAA row from CAB to ACT. They all are identified now. Till now, they were hidden and escaped but today those intellectuals’ faces are being exposed again.

Modi wanted them to show their faces and now people of India will give a solution them.Targeting Gandhi family, he said, in 2014, India got freedom from the family oriented politics.

The Chief Minister was basically bashing the Mughals saying, Mughals were never India’s unifier or glory. He accused the Mughals for attempts of destroying Indian culture. He further stated, Mughal ruled India for 600 years whereas in really 331 at max the Mughals had ruled.

 On yesterday Supreme Court denied to stay CAA’s imposition, whereas international media has stated, just four days before the 70th anniversary of the Republic of India, the Supreme Court has served a grim reminder. The battle to reclaim the republic will have to be fought by the public.

The much-awaited hearing of petitions opposing the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, or CAA, turned out to be a routine affair with little consequence, just as many legal experts had feared. Attorney General K.K. Venugopal pleaded for more time to respond to 143 petitions. The court gave the Narendra Modi government another four weeks. The petitioners asked for a stay on the operation of the CAA and the National Population Register (NPR), or at least their postponement by a few months. The Supreme Court showed its unwillingness to currently engage with this issue.
