Comrade Nripen Chakraborty, former chief Minister of Tripura and former PB Member of CPI(M) was paid respectful homage by the people of Tripura on 21st January 2011, on the occasion of his birth centenary.

Com.Nripen was the comrade who sowed the seeds of Communism in Tripura among the tribals and gradually drew the Bengali population in it, stated Com. Prakash Karat, General Secretary, CPI(M) while inaugurating the function. In contrast to the ethnic hostility that prevails in other states of the NE region, Tripura stands as a unique example of unity, thanks to the great contribution of Com. Nripen Chakraborty, he said.

I pay my respectful homage to the memory of one of the stalwarts of the communist movement, who was so simple in his life and lived as one among the tribals and non-tribals of Tripura.
