Road blockade for Roman script continues, TIPRA Motha accused of violating agreement

Agartala, Mar 22 (UNI) Tipra Students' Federation (TSF) backed by BJP’s ally in Tripura government TIPRA Motha resumed road blockade of national highways in Baramura and Bishramganj from Saturday morning demanding Roman script for Kokborok language.
TSF launched the blockade on Friday in multiple locations across the state including VIP Road in the city, which triggered serious resentment among the people as it prevented the movement of examinees, ambulances, school buses, and even the Ministers for the whole day.
TIPRA Motha founder and royal scion Pradyot Kishore Debbarman openly supported the movement and sat in the road blockade despite being a partner in the state government. He criticized the ruling BJP for not accepting the demand for Roman script for Kokborok. He said the delay in resolving the matter hurt the sentiment of the majority of Kokborok-speaking communities.
