Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said the law and order situation in the Northeast improved significantly after the insurgency in the region was brought under control by the Modi government.
Singh said this after inaugurating 'The Conclave 2022', a two-day interactive session jointly organised by the 'Asomiya Pratidin', a popular Assamese daily, and 'Pratidin Time', an Assamese channel based in Guwahati.
“During our reign, the insurgency has been brought under control and the law and order situation in the region has improved significantly,” he said.
The defence minister, however, admitted that even though the situation has not improved 100 per cent but it was “significant progress in that direction”.
He said the Northeast was earlier isolated in terms of development and it was not in the best interest of the country.
“I can assure you that our government is working to do everything possible to bring progress to the Northeast,” he said.
Singh also said that it was the NDA government under Atal Bihari Vajpayee that took the initiative for the development of the Northeast and created a separate ministry — DoNER — for the region.
