The Twipra Students Federation (TSF), a tribal organisation and member of the North East Student Organisation (NESO) would hold ‘ Black Day’ at areas in Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) on January 8 as part of their anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protest.
“Tripura is not able to give space to any more foreigners due to huge population density. We are in favour of safeguarding the welfare of all Indian citizens. We strongly oppose the CAA and appeal to all communities to support the movement against the CAA,” said TSF general secretary Hamari Jamatia.
He added that the foreign immigrants would be allowed by the law to make their citizenships secure.
