AGARTALA, Nov 11: Tipra Motha Party MLA Paul Dangshu sought an unconditional public apology from the BJP MLA in Boxanagar over alleged remarks against Tripura's tribal community.
Reacting to a video of the MLA's election campaign circulated on social media, Dangshu described the alleged remarks as an expression of narrow-mindedness and arrogance.
He objected to the alleged statement that tribal people “eat, reproduce and live with pigs”, saying such language reflected disrespect for the tribal community.
Dangshu also alleged that the MLA had mocked the Tipra Motha Party and tribal people.
He said no one had the right to insult the culture, livelihood and identity of a community in the name of political differences or election campaigning.
Dangshu demanded that the BJP MLA publicly tender an unconditional apology to the tribal community.
