Ranchi, Dec 12 (TIWN) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday appealed to the people of the northeast, particularly of Assam to maintain peace and assured them that their interests will be protected at all costs.

“I assure the North East, especially the brothers, sisters and youths of Assam to trust your ‘sevak’ Modi and I will not allow your traditions, culture, language to be adversely affected,” he said.

The Prime Minister further said that there was a deliberate attempt to stoke violence and unrest by the Congress and other Opposition parties for petty political gains and warned people not to fall for their evil designs. “There are attempts to fuel tensions in Northeast, don’t be misled by Congress. I assure every state of East and Northeast, the traditions, culture, language etc of Assam and other states won’t be affected,” he said. 

“The Central government will work with state governments for your development. Don’t be misled by Congress’s statements,” he added. 

The situation in Assam and Tripura remained tensed even on Thursday as thousands of people protesting the passage of the bill. The bill was cleared by the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday night, two days after Lok Sabha gave its approval.  The bill amends the Citizenship Act, 1955 to grant Indian citizenship to persecuted non-Muslim refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.  The Prime Minister further said that tensions are being fueled by Congress in the Northeast to serve its political interest. He noted that “most of the NE is out of the ambit of this bill but politics of Congress and its allies depends on illegal immigrants”.
