“Modi Govt Helped Youth Of North East To Leave Violence”: Amit Shah

Amit Shah

Several separatist factions in the northeast forced the youth to take up arms and the central government has ensured that these factions join the mainstream, the home minister said.

Saturday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on Congress and opposition parties in Assam, where he alleged that the earlier governments under Congress did not do anything to bring back the youth of northeast from the path of insurgency.

“Assam saw several agitations over the past few decades. Lots of Assamese youth died during these agitations. It disturbed Assam’s peace and halted the region’s development,” Shah said.

Several separatist factions in the northeast forced the youth to take up arms and the central government has ensured that these factions join the mainstream, the home minister said.

“I am proud to say that in the recently concluded Bodoland elections there was a turnout of more than 80% and there was not a single incident of bloodshed reported. This tells that if there is determination for development and respect towards peace and stability then the government can work with the people. PM Modi has commitment towards peace and determination to develop the region.” he further added.

It was the Modi government that restored normalcy in the region and the government is determined that development in the region will pave the way for people to change their mindset and join the mainstream, Mr Shah pointed out. He also praised the chief minister Sarabananda Sonowal and finance minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for their role in bringing separatist voices back into the mainstream.

Amit Shah, during his address, said the Modi government kept northeast region in focus during its 6 year rule. “In the last six years, PM Modi visited the northeastern states thirty times. The government is committed to develop the region. Every time he visited the region he brought gifts for the people of the region to spur growth and development.”

“Centre Indulging In Propaganda For Political Gains”: Mamata Banerjee Slams PM Modi

TestHostEntry

Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee on Saturday blamed the Centre of non-cooperation and ‘indulging in propaganda for petty political gains’.

Criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for misleading farmers with ‘half-truth and distorted facts’ instead of proactively addressing their issues, West Bengal chief minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee on Saturday blamed the Centre of non-cooperation and ‘indulging in propaganda for petty political gains’.

“Our farmer brothers & sisters have been on streets protesting against new farm laws. Instead of addressing them, PM today chose to mislead the people with half-truth & distorted facts. BJP-led Centre is not cooperating & only indulging in propaganda for petty political gains,” the West Bengal CM tweeted, with a letter rubbishing the Centre’s allegation of the non-cooperation by the Bengal government in implementing the PM Kisan Yojana.

The three contentious farm laws would dilute the MSP and state procurement systems, leaving farmers at the mercy of private buyers, Banerjee said. She also slammed the PM for ‘showing his apparent concern’ via a televised event rather than proactively working to resolve their issues.

She had written two letters on the issue of PM Kisan Yojana and spoken to the minister concerned but it was them who were not cooperating, the TMC chief said.

She also reminded the centre of its Rs 85,000 crore outstanding dues to the state, which included Rs 8,000 crore of unpaid GST dues. Banerjee said the centre must release a part of these funds if they really cared about West Bengal.

The Bengal Chief Minister added that her government was prepared to do anything for the benefit of the people, even if it meant supporting the politically driven schemes of the Centre which were formulated out of political agenda and were not in the interest of helping people.
