He also stated that Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar couldn’t understand the pain of indigenous people as he was of foreign origin.
The Tripura Govt had prevented a delegation of the NESO in Tripura on Friday when they went to see the injured protesters at Khumulwng hospital and this further trigged the protest.
NESO Vice Chairman Dipanka Kumar Nath said that the government cannot suppress the voice of the indigenous people of the state.
