TIPRA Motha chairman Pradyot Manikya Deb Barma, opining on Northeast Indian politics said “There is a sense of insecurity among the local population – which is largely the indigenous population – that they will be flooded with people from outside. So when, a Government of India comes out with certain Bills – which says that we will protect you or we will protect your interests, they are also playing to a polarization card”.
