Take action against illegal B'deshis: MLA to Tripura HC chief justice

Time of India25-06-2025
Agartala: TIPRA Motha MLA Ranjit Debbarma wrote to the chief justice of the High Court of Tripura, calling for urgent and stringent action against illegal migrants from Bangladesh, along with their Indian collaborators, including unfit bailors, dishonest advocates, and mediators.
He said hundreds of Bangladeshi nationals were being arrested in Tripura by law enforcement agencies but were later granted bail in court. After coming out of jail, many of them absconded without returning to Bangladesh. They were residing in India using false documents and hiding their identities.
Debbarma expressed concern that these individuals, aided by certain advocates and bailors, were deliberately avoiding court proceedings.
There is a growing trend of illegal migrants assuming false identities, including religious identities, to stay undetected in India.
The letter accused Indian facilitators of managing to fabricate documents to support these migrants, with the police allegedly showing inaction despite clear evidence of forged paperwork. Referring to a specific case involving one Kajal Sarker of Mohanpur, near Agartala, identified as an Indian middleman, Debbarma cited ongoing legal proceedings.
The MLA requested the high court to ensure a custody trial for the arrested illegal migrants and an immediate pushback order after sentencing. He also urged the court to initiate strong punitive action against the involved Indian collaborators to safeguard national security and uphold the sovereignty of India.

US tariff issue: Aqua farmers assured of resolution

Bhimavaram: Union Minister of State for Steel and Heavy Industries Bhupathiraju Srinivas Varma on Monday assured aqua farmers that the central and state governments prioritise their welfare, and a solution to the US tariff problem is likely to be found soon. The minister made these remarks after a meeting in Bhimavaram, where aqua farmers from the West Godavari district voiced their concerns about the steep drop in prawn prices following a 50% tariff imposed by the US on Indian aqua products. During the meeting, organised by the West Godavari Prawn Farmers Welfare Association at the BJP district office, farmers submitted a memorandum detailing their struggles. Minister Srinivasa Varma, recalling his own experience of losing Rs 4 crore in prawn farming, said he directly understands their hardships. He said that the aqua sector is a significant source of employment in the state and that any harm to it would adversely affect other sectors. He stated that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, India has become the world's fourth-largest economy and is no longer in a position to be pressured by other nations. He assured the farmers that protecting their interests is the government's primary objective during this challenging time and promised to work towards a resolution. Srinivasa Varma expressed commitment to bringing key issues to the attention of Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, including providing subsidised power to aqua farmers regardless of the zone and ensuring the supply of feed at lower costs. He also promised to arrange a meeting between the state leaders and the aqua farmers. Additionally, he said he would meet with Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal to request necessary assistance. The minister expressed optimism that the US tariffs are temporary and may be withdrawn soon. The minister also mentioned his and Kaikaluru MLA Kamineni Srinivas's crucial role in filing a case in the Supreme Court to resolve the issues faced by Kolleru farmers. He noted that a CEC team recently visited Kolleru to gather feedback from farmers and expressed hope for a swift resolution to that problem as well. N Gajapathi Raju, GV Subba Raju, Thota Vijay Kumar, Pernicherla Subhash Raju, Panja Venkateswara Rao, Kalidindi Vinod Varma, and others participated in the meeting.

‘Big Blow': Trump Targets Russia Over Oil Exports To India, Says ‘Their Economy Not Doing Well'

Last Updated: Trump targeted Russia over its oil exports to India and said that Moscow's economy "is not doing well". His remarks came days after he dubbed Indian and Russian economies "dead". US President Donald Trump on Monday (local time) described his decision to slap 50% tariffs against India for buying Russian oil as a 'big blow" for Moscow, while taking a shot at Russia's economy again, days after dubbing it as 'dead". Trump said that he was 'all set to do things far bigger" than targeting Russian oil exports, and claimed that he 'got a call" about holding a meeting with President Vladimir Putin. His remarks came while speaking with the reporters about his plans to meet Putin on August 15 in Alaska. 'I'm going to meet him…Their (Russia's) economy is not doing well right now because it's been very well disturbed by this. It doesn't help when the President of the United States tells their largest or second-largest oil buyer that we are putting a 50 percent tariff on you if you buy oil from Russia. That was a big blow," he said. #WATCH | On meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump says, 'I'm going to meet him…Their (Russia) economy is not doing well right now because it's been very well disturbed by this.

But I got a call that they'd like to meet and I'm going to see what they want to meet about," Trump added. His comments came as tensions with India have been on the rise since his announcement of 25% tariffs on India, and then the subsequent 25% additional duties on Indian exports to the US for New Delhi's decision to continue buying Russian oil, even though he did not impose any new tariffs on China — which is the largest buyer of oil from Moscow.
