AGARTALA, Dec 27 (TIWN): 2018's pre-election season is leading Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar to make the impossible things as possible. Even though since 25 years the de-sheltered Udbastu families were striving in one way for their houses and compensations, but the CPI-M Govt here didn't accepted their pleas. Opposition party Congress led by former Congress MLA Ratan Lal Nath had raised the issue in Assembly also but the State Govt didn't take any action for their rehabilitation who were victims of Tripura's terrorism in ADC areas in 90's era. But when the Udbastu families warned to go for National Highway Blockade from Dec-28 from Chandrapur to Champaknagar route, West DM Millind Ramteke held a meeting with the Udabstus and handed over the house sanctioned copies in their hands. The Udbastu Committee's Secretary Sajal Poddar said, "As the Govt has partially accepted our demands, so for now we have suspended the National Highway blockade plan".

Earlier, on the background of the protest Sajal Poddar had told TIWN, "It doesn't matter which govt is peaceful, which govt is anti-peace. But we have seen how our 65 people at Jumpui were killed and 6 who were kidnapped had never returned".

State Govt never highlights those things and surprisingly, the desheltering of Bengalis began from 1994 just after Left front regime begins in 1993. A close study reveals that 1993 was the beginning of left front era and from1994 the Bengali-free ADC making had started. The Udbastu leader also reminded, "In 1980 it was left front govt under whom the violence held".

At ADC in 1994 atleast 2000 people were outcasted, whereas till day across Tripura 4000 to 5000 people are living as Udbastus.

Presently 5000 Udbastus are residing over Bishalgrah, Sidai, Sadar, Belonia areas. Not even 5 % people have received their compensations till day.

"This was a fully plan-wise work done by this Govt. I will blame the present govt for our fates as it's our guardian now since 1994. I am also Indian but from everything I have been deprived. Ration, Patta, Security nothing has been given to us. I born in India, even I do not know when my grandfather came from other country", he said.

He further blamed Tripura Bengalis for lacking unity including Bengali leaders of the state.

This interview has recalled Manik Sarkar's 1992's statement as the opposition leader, "Tribals who were 70 % of the population, during Maharaja's time have now come to 23 %...the 'Bangladeshi foreigners' have started silently invading the TTADC...if this process is not stopped forthwith the Tribal identity itself will be in danger".

Today Bengalis are meant to foreigners due to CPI-M's dirty politics eventhough they know it very well cleaning Tripura from Bengalis would never be possible practically, but again in 2017 when as it's election time so this is again time for violence !
