On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi warned that the atrocious crimes of assault against women in Manipur must never be forgiven.
During his statement, PM Modi stated that “The Centre and the state government are working together and doing everything possible to ensure that the accused get the strictest punishment.”
In response to the debate on the vote of no-confidence in the Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Modi lashed out at the opposition, saying, “Had they been interested in discussing Manipur, we could have had a detailed discussion separately.”
He further added that “Home minister called opposition for discussion; he spoke on Manipur in detail on Wednesday but opposition only wants to do politics.”
“I want to assure the people that peace will be restored in Manipur in the coming time. I want to tell the people of Manipur including women and daughters of Manipur that the country is with you,” PM Modi continued.
While emphasizing the Manipur issue, PM Modi states that “The situation in Manipur is being portrayed as if the problem in the state started in the recent times. This is not true. The Congress is responsible for all the problems that the people of northeast including Manipur are facing today.”
In addition, the Prime Minister Modi accused the former PM Nehru as he said “The Prime Minister accused the grand old party and former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of neglecting the northeast as the region was not electorally attractive.
“They have murdered trust of people of northeast, wounds of that keep appearing from time to time.”
“The government in Manipur has been trying to find solutions to these problems for the last 6 years,” he said and reminded the days of bandhs and blockades in the state under the Congress’s rule.
Not just this, PM Modi also predicted the bright future of Assam and northeast region as he claimed BJP has prioritise the development of the region.
