Duplicity of Tripura Left FrontGreetings- Tapas DeyPolitics in Tripura during the past a little more than two decadeshas been marked by militancy by a section of misguided tribalyouths, and sharp ethnic polarization. Tripura was rocked bylarge ethnic riots in May 1979 and then in June 1980. Insurgents’movement followed the riot by a group called TNV. However,“Peace” returned to Tripura after the Congress – TUJS coalitioncame into power in February 1988 as a tripartite ‘Peace Accord’on August 12, 1988. Within one month TNV as an␣ insurgentoutfit ceased to exist and after the wholesale surrender of all themilitants.However, a brief period of relative peace in the state was shatteredby the emergence of ATTF and NLFT militants who continue tospread terror in the state. It is quite on cards that these outfits,banned since April 1997, stop their activities before the electionswhether it is Assembly or Autonomous District Council.However, the scenario mentioned above has a historicalbackground. It is now hardly remembered that the undividedCommunist Party of India (CPI) had declared “war” on the infantIndian state by a resolution passed in the Calcutta Congress ofthe party. The tiny Tripura was a major theatre of this “war”euphemistically called “armed struggle” by the Marxist even now.The purpose of this so-called “armed struggle” in Tripura was todisrupt the new administration and its logical fall-out was thekilling of a large number of tribal or non-tribal people by thekiller squad of the Communist Party. Even though theCommunist’s avowed policy was to protest the interest of theindigenous tribal, they started practicing the policy of ethnicismand ‘divide and rule’ in order to nurture vote bank. Communistleaders spoke of the interest of the tribal in public meetings inthe context of influx of refugees from East Pakistan (nowBangladesh) but in their secret party conclaves they passedresolution demanding ‘proper rehabilitation of refugees’.While the activities of communists of the so-called armed struggleperiod have been recorded in late Dasharath Deb’s book ‘MuktiParishader Itibritta’, their duplicity was reflected in the resolutionpassed by the party in their state conference held in 1952. Theykeep up the policy of paying lip service to tribal interest andespousing the cause of the refugees in action. The former chiefminister of the left front, Mr. Nripen Chakraborty, launched ‘fastunto death’ program on several occasions demanding properrehabilitation of non-tribal refugees of East Pakistan. The CPI-M’s duplicity in respect of tribal community is also proved by theJuly, 2005Congress Sandeshfact that they show no interest in the demand for AutonomousDistrict Council for Tribals based on 6 th Schedule of theConstitution, raised first by the TUJS (Tripura Upajat Juba Samity),an exclusive tribal organization formed in 1969, now a majorconstituent of INPT.It was only after the TUJS movement for Autonomous DistrictCouncil gained momentum that the CPI-M lent support to it. Theethnic riots of 1979 and 1980 were yet again an eloquentcommentary on the total failure of the left front’s administration,which failed to save the lives of innocent people. However, thereal face of the Left Front came to fore only after they had lostthe Assembly elections. In order to destablize the Congress –TUJS coalition government the CPI-M formed the ATTF militantsin May 1990 which was proved by confessions made by severalnabbed ATTF militants. The ATTF group selectively killed a largenumber of Congress – TUJS leaders and helped the CPI-M rigthe Assembly election held in 1993, quite predictably, a part ofATTF surrendered within 6 months of the left front’s rigged victoryin the elections of 1993.But the larger group of ATTF remained underground and continueto indulge in murder and mayhem at the behest of the CPI-M.More than 5000 innocent people, including women and childrenbelonging to both tribal and non-tribal community, have lost theirlives during the past decade of the 3 rd and 4 th Left Front regimesand the CPI-M-led Left Front have only presided over theliquidation of the lives of innocent people completely shirkingtheir constitutional responsibility.The CPI-M’s unholy alliance with banned insurgent outfits alsoproved by the fact that the former leader and chief minister, ShriNripen Chakraborty had once made a press statement, “had Ibeen tribal, I would also have become a militant”. Besides, afteraccepting the surrender of ATPLO militant in 1983, the then LeftFront government, led by Shri Nripen Chakraborty directlyinducted six of the senior ATPLO rebels in the Central Committeeof Ganamukti Parishad (GMP), the tribal frontal organization ofthe CPI-M of Tripura. Even now a former ATPLO rebel, ShriKhagendra Jamatia and Shri Jasbir Tripura, whose name figuredin the Secret Circular issued by the then Chief Secretary as acorroborator with the underground acting in the administration,are MLAs of CPI-M.Undivided Communists used to regularly raised demands suchas ‘right to self-determination’ for tribals in Tripura.
