Agartala Jun 25: Regional Party and an ally of the ruling coalition, IPFT held a Special Executive Committee meeting in Agartala on Saturday, party’s president NC Debbarma said.

Detailing further, the veteran leader said IPFT is committed to the cause of its core demand– Tipra Land and will hold Delhi Abhiyan on August 23 next in support of the demand.

He reiterated IPFT is in the ruling coalition, but the party did not stay back from conducting its struggle in support of its demand and welfare of the people. He, however, remained non-committal about the coalition in upcoming Assembly Polls and said things would be sorted out at that time.

Referring to their struggle for separate Tipra land, NC Debbarma said, the formation of a new state takes time. He cited the example of Telangana which was created after a prolonged struggle and said our's movement is only decades old – and we are committed to carrying forward our movement. Today, Aghore Debbarma joined IPFT quitting Tipra Motha along with three others.

Commenting on Mever Kumar Jamatia, the IPFT supremo said, Jamatia is still with IPFT and an IPFT MLA. If he joins another party, he would come under the purview of the Anti-defection Act.
