Extremist leader-turned-politician Bijoy Kumar Hrangkhawl was on Friday appointed president of the Tipraha Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance(TIPRA), which is governing the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC). TIPRA chairman Pradyot Kishore Debbarman also announced that senior BJP leader Manohar Debbarma had joined the regional party. Mr. Hrangkhawl, 73, whose Tripura National Volunteers (TNV) laid down arms in 1988 following a tripartite peace accord signed in presence of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in New Delhi, was earlier president of the Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura (INPT). The INPT and two other local indigenous parties recently merged with the TIPRA.More Related News
