CPI-M Politburo member, Prakash Karat, said Tripura Government had furnished details of the camps of insurgents of Tripura Bangladesh to the Central Government, and of late the Union Home Minister L. K. Advani also stated that the insurgents of the North-Eastern region were using the soil of Bangladesh. "In that context, we demand that the Union Government should seriously take up the matter with Bangladesh. We also demand deployment of at least 18 battalions of the Border Security Force (BSF) along the border so that the ultras can not sneak into the Indian territory," he said. Karat said that his party was of the view that it would receive popular mandate of the people in the elections due in March next. Criticising the Opposition Congress for forging an alliance with the Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura (INPT), Karat said the former appeared to have not got a lesson from the past because every one knew that INPT was the overground face of the banned NLFT.
