He said, “It is a happy coincidence that today when the country is celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence, we are also celebrating the 400th birth anniversary of the great son of this soil, Lachit Borfukan. His life is an inspiration for patriotism and nation power. I bow to this great hero of the country in Karbi Anglong.”

Lauding the double engine government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “The double-engine governments work in the spirit of ‘sabka Saath, sabka Vikas, sabka Vishwas, and sabka Prayas’. Today this resolve has been reinforced again on this land of Karbi Anglong. Work is on at a fast pace to realize the pact that was agreed upon for the lasting peace and rapid development of Assam.”

Underlining the development of the northeast that took place under the consecutive two terms of the Modi government, he said, “Since 2014, the difficulties in the North East have been decreasing, the lives of people are improving.

Today, when someone comes to the tribal areas of Assam and goes to other states of the North East, it is good to see the situation changing.”

He further said, “Apart from Assam, in Tripura also, NLFT took steps on the path of peace. The Bru-Riyang problem that had been going on for nearly two-and-a-half decades was also solved. In September last year, several organizations of Karbi Anglong joined the resolution of peace and development. Bodo Accord in 2020 opens new doors of lasting peace.”

Talking about the Armed Forces Special Power Act, PM Modi said, “For a long time, the Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) has been in many states of the North East. But due to lasting peace and better law and order in place during the last 8 years, we have removed AFSPA from many areas of the North East.”

In this Assam tour, PM Modi is also dedicating the Dibrugarh Cancer Hospital to the nation.
