Pradyot Kishore Debbarman, TIPRA Motha Chief Urges India to Intervene in Bangladesh Elections and ensure that SK Hasina Forms government there
In a political statement that could stir diplomatic and domestic debates, TIPRA Motha supremo Pradyot Kishore Debbarman has called upon the Government of India to intervene in the internal political affairs of Bangladesh.

Citing national security and regional stability, Debbarman appealed for India’s support to ensure that the ruling Awami League returns to power in Bangladesh.In a live address to his supporters via social media on Sunday, Debbarman expressed deep concern about the current political climate in Bangladesh and warned that any anti-India regime coming to power could severely impact the bordering Indian states of Tripura, Meghalaya, and Assam.
He said both BNP and Md Yunus are overtly Anti Indian and their return to power in the next Bangladesh elections would be a matter of serious concern for Tripura in particular and North East in general.
“If any anti-India political force usurps power in Bangladesh, our region is going to face major problems. Tripura, in particular, will be under immense pressure,” said Debbarman.
“The Government of India should intervene and ensure that Sheikh Hasina led Awami League can contest the elections, and return to powerr”.
He also reiterated his demand for ‘annexion of CHT and Comilla of Bangladesh’ so that North East region of India could get access to Chittagong Port.This is one of the rare instances where a regional political leader has openly urged New Delhi to interfere in the electoral affairs of a neighbouring sovereign country—underscoring the growing anxiety in Tripura over cross-border impacts of political instability in Bangladesh.
Allegations of Bangladeshi Infiltration in Tripura
Alongside his commentary on Bangladesh’s internal politics, the TIPRA Motha leader raised alarm over what he termed as increasing illegal immigration from Bangladesh into tribal areas of Tripura. He alleged that a group of 16–20 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants had been spotted in the Chakmaghat area, which falls under the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC). Another suspicious group, he claimed, had been noticed operating under the radar in the Killa-Bagma region.
“They are seen avoiding the area during the day and sneaking into shelters under the cover of darkness. Their movement is suspicious, and our local workers have already alerted the authorities,” said Debbarman.
He added that the role of the state machinery was inadequate and suggested that the responsibility for detection and deportation of illegal immigrants be handed over to central paramilitary forces.
“Do Not Treat Bangladeshis as Vote Bank”
Debbarman also issued a sharp rebuke to other political parties in the state, accusing them of tacitly encouraging the settlement of Bangladeshi nationals in their electoral strongholds for political gains.“There is a dangerous tendency to protect illegal immigrants by considering them as part of our linguistic or cultural fold. This emotional argument is being misused,” he warned.
“They are not us. We must understand the long-term damage this can do. Political parties should stop protecting them for future vote bank politics.”He urged all people of Tripura—regardless of political affiliation—to unite against this growing menace and work collectively to prevent the dilution of indigenous identity and security concerns.
Calls for Expedited Implementation of Tiprasa Accord
On another pressing issue, Debbarman informed that he had written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, urging him to expedite the implementation of the Tiprasa Accord, a key agreement aimed at ensuring constitutional, cultural, and administrative safeguards for the indigenous people of Tripura.
“I have spoken with the Home Minister and he has assured me that some significant developments will take place in the next three weeks. But delays in implementation are sending a negative message throughout the Northeast,” he said.
Debbarman’s statement is likely to spark both political debate and administrative action in the coming days, as it brings together critical issues of cross-border politics, internal security, ethnic identity, and regional diplomacy under one umbrella. With Tripura sitting at the edge of geopolitical volatility, these remarks may very well influence the contours of public discourse in the state and beyond.
