Royal Scion Pradyot Manikya Raises Alarm Over Illegal Land Allotment to Bangladeshi National in Tripura
Agartala, July 16: In a startling revelation, Tipra Motha chief and royal scion Pradyot Manikya Debbarma has raised serious questions over the alleged allotment of government land to a foreign national in Tripura’s Udaipur Sub-Division. The total land under scrutiny measures 0.22 acres and reportedly falls under the jurisdiction of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), a 6th Schedule area.
Taking to social media, Pradyot questioned how land could be allotted to a person whose official address was listed as Bangladesh. “How can a non-Scheduled Tribe (ST) individual be allowed to buy land in a 6th Schedule area?” he asked, highlighting that such a transaction would be considered a gross violation of land laws protecting Indigenous rights.
“This could never have happened in mainland India without triggering nationwide outrage. But since it’s Tripura and the Northeast, silence prevails,” Pradyot remarked.
He further alleged that the Bangladeshi individual and his family vanished after obtaining the land documents, potentially paving the way to acquire key Indian identity documents like passport, Aadhaar, PAN card, and voter ID, posing a serious threat to national security and electoral integrity.
Pradyot also called on the Election Commission of India (ECI) to initiate an inquiry, stating that the then Deputy Collector Magistrate (DCM), Revenue Officer, and Tehsildar have implicated themselves in the process. “This could not have taken place without political knowledge,” he asserted.
Thanking Purna Chandra Jamatia, Chief Executive Member of TTAADC, for handing over the official land documents, Pradyot said, “To many, he is the CEM, but to me, he is a Tiprasa warrior.”
He concluded by acknowledging that his exposé may once again draw criticism from political quarters, but emphasized that it remains his moral responsibility to uncover such truths affecting the region.
This explosive disclosure has stirred fresh debate over illegal infiltration, administrative accountability, and the safeguarding of Indigenous lands in Tripura.
