Agartala: Former Chairman of Tipra Motha in Tripura, Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma, said that the Government of India must engage in dialogue with whoever assumes control of the interim government in Bangladesh to prevent attacks on minorities and indigenous people living in the neighbouring country.

On Social Media, Pradyot said that there was a need to avoid making provocative statements.

“Attacks on minorities and our indigenous people living in Bangladesh have increased”, he said.

He added, “This is deeply concerning, and I am sure the Government of India will have a conversation with whoever takes over the interim government. We must also be careful that no provocative statement is given from our side.”

Earlier, on August 5, Pradyot spoke with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who assured him that India’s borders are well protected and that no illegal influx will be allowed.
