Tipra Motha Party MLA Paul Dangshu has demanded an unconditional public apology from the BJP’s Boxanagar MLA over an alleged derogatory remark targeting Tripura’s indigenous community.
Reacting to a campaign speech video circulating on social media, Dangshu objected to the alleged comment that indigenous people “eat, breed, and live with pigs”, describing it as an insult to the community’s culture and identity.
In a statement, he also criticised what he termed a condescending tone and mockery directed at the Tipra Motha Party and the indigenous population. He said political differences and election campaigns could not justify insulting an entire community or its traditional way of life.
Dangshu described the remarks as demeaning and demanded an immediate and unconditional public apology from the Boxanagar MLA to Tripura’s indigenous community.
