Agartala, Nov 9 : Tipra Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Debbarma, who recently announced his decision to step away from active politics, on Monday welcomed the formation of a committee to examine land-related issues in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), urging people not to draw premature conclusions before its recommendations are submitted.
Speaking to reporters at Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) Airport here shortly after his arrival, Debbarma said the committee had been given one month to complete its examination and submit recommendations, and should be allowed to function within the stipulated timeframe.
"It would not be appropriate to comment on the committee's scope, functioning or possible recommendations at this stage. We should allow it to complete its work first," he said.
He said the recommendations, once submitted, would be carefully examined before the party took a position and communicated its views on the matter.
The Tipra Motha founder stressed that the focus should be on moving forward rather than remaining preoccupied with past developments. Protecting the rights of the next generation and safeguarding the interests of the people of Tripura should be the primary objectives while addressing land-related concerns, he said.
Debbarma also underlined the need to ensure that any decision on the sensitive issue did not create difficulties for any section of society.
Reiterating his support for the committee's formation, he said all stakeholders should wait for its findings before making assessments or expressing opinions on the possible outcome.
The state government recently constituted a committee to examine various land-related issues concerning the TTAADC, following discussions with Debbarma. The panel has been tasked with examining the concerns and submitting its recommendations within a month.
During the interaction, Debbarma also appealed to people to rise above political differences and work towards creating a positive and harmonious social environment.
Referring to the upcoming Christmas celebrations and the New Year, he said people should look towards the future and focus on the welfare of the next generation instead of remaining caught up in political debates and disagreements.
He said collective efforts were necessary to build a peaceful and inclusive society, adding that the interests of future generations should remain central to public discourse and policymaking.
