Anarchy in Northeast, men armed with AK-47 marched in Shillong like Taliban: Congress

Pointing to a video of men brandishing AK-47 rifles on the streets of Shillong, Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala compared the situation in Meghalaya with what the Taliban are doing in Afghanistan.

The Congress has drawn parallels between pictures of Taliban militants on the streets of Kabul and the situation in Meghalaya. Referring to a recent video of masked men marching with AK-47 rifles in Shillong, Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala alleged that the Northeast has been pushed into arson and constitutional anarchy. Addressing media persons at the party headquarters, the chief spokesperson of Congress, Randeep Singh Surjewala, said, "While we see disturbing scenes in Afghanistan, the truth of Northeast is being hidden by the government. When the Taliban brandish weapons we can understand because it happens in Afghanistan. But a similar video of masked men brandishing AK-47 rifles on the streets of Shillong has surfaced. It is the abdication of duty by the Government of India."
