Ending all speculations, the TIPRA Motha chief Pradyot on Wednesday said, “The Union Home Minister Amit Shah agreed to look into the problems of the indigenous people of Tripura and start a constitutional solution for our problems, while a series of issues were discussed with him today.”

Shah on Wednesday accompanied Prime Minister Narendra Modi and arrived here at Agartala to attend the swearing in ceremony. Soon after the end of the event Shah met Pradyot and discussed series of issues related to constitutional solutions as was demanded by the TIPRA Motha.

“Amit Shah assured that he will be appointing an interlocutor through the Government of India in the next two three days to solve the long pending problems of the indigenous people of the state of Tripura,” he told reporters while making his press statement on Wednesday evening.
