Sabroom, Feb 8 (TIWN): After the announcement of 12 hours bandh in ADC areas of the state by the All Tripura Indigenous Regional Parties Forum (ATIRPF) on February 8 against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, the CPI-M sabroom unit has come up opposing the bandh and claimed, "There is no justification to call a strike."

The CPI-M termed the move as “separatist action”.There is no justification to call the strike. It was called as a pretext for formation of alliance to weaken development works in the ADC.

Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT), The Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura (INPT) and the National Conference of Tripura (NCT) yesterday announced the formation of All Tripura Indigenous Regional Parties Forum (ATIRPF) to oppose the Bill.

The CPI-M leaders alleged the forum was unhappy with the restoration of peace after three decades of insurgency in the state was contained.
