PM Modi Urges Militants To Surrender, Work Towards ''Atmanirbhar Assam''

Assam Election 2021: Addressing an election rally in Baksa district, the prime minister said people of the state have rejected violence for development, peace, unity, and stability.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday made a fervent appeal to militants in Assam who have not surrendered yet to return to the mainstream as they are needed to create an ''Atmanirbhar Assam''. Addressing an election rally in Baksa district, the prime minister said people of the state have rejected violence for development, peace, unity, and stability. The NDA government, he asserted, formulated policies that are non-discriminatory and for all sections of society. "It's unfortunate that those who divided society and threw crumbs of development at particular sections for their vote bank politics are said to be practising secularism while we, who ensure that development reaches all, are termed communal," PM Modi said, attacking the Congress over long years of violence in the state.
