"Some said it will never happen but a historical process has started - this is the start ! First round of the Tiprasa accord dialogue held along with the officials of Home ministry and  state government has been held," posted popular Tipra leader Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barma.

He also wrote: "A detailed discussion on ALL  points has been discussed. We have also agreed that we will meet every two months to Expedite the problems of our Tiprasa people . Today we spoke as a community and not a party".

It may be mentioned that Tipra Motha, which won 13 seats in its maiden Assembly polls last year, joined the BJP-led government after signing a tripartite agreement with the Centre and the Tripura government. 

Under the Tripartite pact, it was agreed to amicably resolve all issues of indigenous people of Tripura relating to history, land and political rights, economic development, identity, culture and language.  

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had invited Tipra Motha leaders to New Delhi for the first meeting of the working group on Friday, September 20, for implementation of the tripartite agreement signed in March.
