|March 16, 2025
HOME Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said that the Congress had pushed Assam into the flames of riots but Prime Minister Narendra Modi restored peace and developed the state.
Addressing a gathering after inaugurating the first phase of revamped Lachit Barphukan Police Academy in Dergaon, Shah highlighted that various accords signed with the insurgent groups under the Modi government helped restore peace in Assam. He mentioned the agreements that Assam signed with Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh for resolution of border disputes.
"More than 10,000 youth laid down arms in the 10 years and joined the mainstream. There was a time when discussions about Assam revolved around agitation, firing, insurgency. Now, a 27,000 crore semiconductor unit is being set up in the state. It will change Assam's future," Shah said.
