The congress in Tripura observed ADC Day on Wednesday and remembered former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
PCC President Ashish Kumar Saha accompanied by the party MLA Sudip Roy Barman and other leaders hoisted the party flag in front of the Congress Bhawan here at Agartala to observe the ADC Day.
PCC President Ashish Kumar Saha claimed that the then UPA government at the Centre under the leadership of former PM Indira Gandhi made a significant contribution for the upliftment of the socio-economic and political status of the indigenous tribes.
He said, “It was the UPA government which realized the importance of socio-economic and political development of the tribal society.”
“It was the former PM Indira Gandhi, who drafted the 125th amendment bill for the upliftment of the socio-economic and political status of the indigenous tribes in Tripura, but it is very unfortunate that the bill was not passed in the parliament,” he told reporters.
Meanwhile, Saha blamed the ruling BJP government and alleged, “The tribals in Tripura are being deprived at large under the rule of this BJP led coalition government, which snatched the democratic rights of people belonging to the indigenous community in ADC.”
