Adviser to the Ministry of Home Affairs on northeast India affairs, Akshay Kumar Mishra, will arrive here on May 12 to initiate talks on socio-political issues of indigenous people in Tripura. He, however, has not been designated as interlocutor as claimed by the chief of TIPRA, Pradyot Kishore Debbarman.
Mr. Mishra will travel here from Manipur where he has been camping since the start of ethnic strife. The Tripura government has declared him a State guest.
The visit is taking place in the backdrop of a meeting between Home Minister Amit Shah and Mr. Debbarman, who is no more speaking about ‘Greater Tipraland’, which is a theoretical State for the indigenous population with claim over the Chittagong Hill tracts of Bangladesh, Mizoram and Assam.
