Agartala, 28th March 2025: Tripura Rajya Upajati Ganamukti Parishad the indigenous wing part of Left Front in Tripura have demanded to the Governor Indra Sena Reddy Nallu for removal of Ratan Lal Nath from Cabinet of Ministers for his racist behaviour against the Leader of Opposition Jitendra Chaudhury.
Tripura Rajya Upajati Ganamukti Parishad’s have also submitted a memorandum to the Governor today.
“We on behalf of Tripura Rajya Upajati Ganamukti Parishad(GMP) would like to draw your kind attention to the unfortunate incident that occurred in the Tripura Legislative Assembly on March 24, 2025. Jitendra Chaudhury, Leader of the Opposition and National Chairman of the Adivasi Adhikar Rashtriya Manch, who has served as a Cabinet Minister 21 years and as an MP for 5 years, was discussing a corruption case allegedly involving a Minister’s family when another Minister, Ratan Lal Nath, criticized him by raising his caste-ethnic abuses and threatening him.
As a result all democratic people particularly we the Adivasis of the state are feeling ourselves extremely insulted. We can’t accept this sort of racial attitude of a minister who fails to maintain own honourable status. In the history of Tripura Legislative Assembly this type of racial incident never happened before this instant”, the memorandum reads.
They have also strongly condemn this behavior, which is shocking and alarming, especially since Minister Ratan Lal Nath is responsible for upholding the Constitution and democratic rights as the Minister of Law and Parliamentary Affairs.
“ Jitendra Chaudhury is a well respected and experienced leader of Adivasi communities in Tripura and nationally. While differences of opinion are natural, there are constitutional and civil mechanisms to express them. Minister Ratan Lal Nath’s behavior has brought down the respect of the legislature. Under this circumstances we urge you to take strict action against Minister Ratan Lal Nath for his caste-ethnic abuses and remove him from the cabinet”, it added.
