The deportation of illegal immigrants, the petition argued, is required to restore the “socio-economic, socio-political and socio-cultural equilibrium” of the State. It argued that the petition has been filed in a ‘representative capacity’ of a majority of the indigenous people living in Tripura for enforcement of their fundamental rights. “The indigenous people/original inhabitants of Tripura are called as ‘Boroks (Twiprasa).’ It is a known position that Tripura and Assam have faced the major brunt of illegal immigration from Bangladesh…,” the petition said. The exercise in Assam was necessitated due to the “persistent illegal influx problem that has plagued the State for over three decades now”, it said. The petition alleged Tripura is in a worse condition.
