For three days the demand for a 'Greater Tipraland' has been raised at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Some 1,500 activists and supporters of two major Tripura-based tribal regional political parties have launched a massive campaign in favour of their demand for a bigger tribal territory in Tripura.
Led by Pradyot Manikya Debburman, Tripura's royal scion and chairman of the largest regional political outfit of the state, TIRPA or Tipraha Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance, the protest has gained strength after the ruling BJP's ally, Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT), joined them.
Led by their leaders, hundreds of members of the two tribal-based parties took part in the demonstrations where Congress MP Jairam Ramesh and Shiv Sena's Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha Priyanka Chaturvedi took part. Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh also visited the rally at Jantar Mantar.
The Congress, Shiv Sena and AAP have shown their support and solidarity to this protest.
