Guwahati: BJP’s ally Tipra Motha Party (TMP) supremo Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma held a meeting with former Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh in Imphal and discussed various issues including illegal immigration.
"Both Biren Singh and Debbarma discussed the illegal infiltration issues along with developmental aspects of the northeastern region. They also discussed socio-economic matters of the indigenous tribals," a BJP leader said.
Taking to social media platform X, Debbarma, a former royal scion of Tripura, wrote on Saturday : "It was wonderful meeting you yesterday, Kangleipak (Manipur) and Tipra (Tripura ) have deep historical ties and this bond will continue as long as I am there. The people of our states need to work unitedly to ensure our next generation is secure."
Both Manipur and Tripura were princely states for several centuries.
Biren Singh, who resigned from the Chief Ministerial post on February 9, four days before the Centre promulgated President's rule in Manipur, in a post on the X said : "It was an honour to host the founder and leader of the Tipra Motha Party, Maharaja Shri Pradyot Manikya Ji, at my residence."
"Manipur and Tripura share deep historical ties and a cordial relationship that continues to this day. As both our states face the pressing challenges of illegal immigration and encroachment, we discussed ways to work together to address these concerns. I am inspired by his steadfast commitment to the people of Tripura and the Northeast. Together, we will prevail," the former Manipur Chief Minister said.
