"What Transpired At Amit Shah Meet?": Congress Over Northeast Violence

The Congress said that it was a matter of great concern that Chief Ministers of the two states, both belonging to the North-East Democratic Alliance (NEDA), were openly arguing on Twitter while the tensions escalated.

The Congress on Monday hit out at the BJP over the violence at the Assam-Mizoram border that claimed lives of six police personnel, stating that it was a matter of disgrace that the tensions escalated within a day of Union Home Amit Shah chairing a meeting to resolve the dispute. In a statement, the Congress said that it was a matter of great concern that Chief Ministers of the two states, both belonging to the North-East Democratic Alliance (NEDA), were openly arguing on Twitter while the tensions escalated. "Just yesterday (Sunday) the Home Minister himself had chaired a meeting with the Chief Ministers and Chief Secretaries of the North Eastern States to discuss interstate border dispute issues. What transpired between them? What were the policies to mitigate the border disputes adopted?" the Congress sought to know. "It has become a matter of great public concern as well as appalling humour that responsible persons like Chief Ministers both belonging to same NEDA alliance are openly arguing with each other on Twitter handles and they have also tagged the Home Minister and Prime Minister."
