India Tactical: Tipra Motha Party to hold protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on September 9; maintain vigilance

Current Situation:

  • The Tipra Motha Party (TMP), part of the Bharatiya Janata Party–led state government, is slated to hold a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on September 9. The specific timing of the demonstration remains undisclosed, as of writing.
  • The protest is aimed at denouncing alleged illegal migration into Tripura, demanding the implementation of the Tripura Peace Accord, and advocating for constitutional recognition of the proposed ‘Greater Tipraland.’
  • The Accord was originally concluded to provide an “honourable solution” to the longstanding socio-political challenges confronting the state’s tribal communities.

Assessments & Forecast:

  1. The turnout at the slated protest is likely to range in the high dozens to low hundreds, considering the potential participation of state ministers and legislators of TMP as well as the TMP’s founder’s appeal to individuals from the north-eastern states to join the protest. The authorities are expected to bolster security measures in the vicinity of Jantar Mantar, likely manifesting in the deployment of police personnel and the setting up of barricades.
  2. There remains a low risk of scuffles between protesters and police, particularly should the former be perceived as engaging in disruptive behavior such as blocking major thoroughfares. In such cases, the police are likely to disperse crowds using baton charges and temporary detainments. Disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular travel are anticipated in the vicinity of the aforementioned location during the protest hours on September 9 due to the expected turnout and associated security measures.

Recommendations:

Those operating or residing in Delhi on September 9 are advised to maintain vigilance in the vicinity of Jantar Mantar due to the slated protest and associated risk of scuffles, while allotting for travel disruptions.
