Shah attended the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of Ramakrishna Mission at Narottam Nagar in Tirap District, Shah also unveiled the Statue of Swami Vivekananda.
Home Minister laid the foundation stone of a 51 feet high bronze statue of Lord Parashuram at the famous Parshuram Kund in Lohit district.
He said that, ” Whenever I visit Arunachal and I hear ‘Jai Hind’ instead of ‘Namaste’, I feel a sense of pride. There is probably no other place in the country other than in Arunachal Pradesh which has such patriotism and awareness.”
He added, “Whenever we come to Arunachal, we go back with energy and patriotism, therefore I want to thank the people of Arunachal for this.After assuming the position of Prime Minister in 2014, Narendra Modi has made a new beginning to transform the North East which is has many problems.”
He added, “Before 2014, when I had visited the North East, I was shocked to hear when a member of the family with whom I was staying, asking me whether I had come from India. In the last 8 years after 2014, Modi has eliminated the distance between Delhi and the North East. The whole country loves the North East and all its States and North East is also proudly saying today that we are part of the great nation of India, we are Indians, it is a big step forward to bring this change in a short span of 8 years.”
Shah said Till date a Prime Minister had never visited the North East 50 times, but Modi has visited different States of the North East more than 50 times in 8 years.
“So far a Prime Minister was never concerned about the languages ??of the North East under the National Education Policy, however Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi due to his concern for the languages ??of the North East has ensured that primary education is imparted in the languages of the States of the North East under the New Education Policy, ” Home minister added.
He said, “Whether it is the emotional connection of the people of North East with the rest of the country, whether it is to connect this region with the rest of the nation through the air route, rail and road connectivity, Modi has shown an intimate attachment to North East by providing infrastructure projects worth thousands of crores of Rupees for the North East.
More than 60 percent of the disputed area between Meghalaya and Assam, who had a dispute for years, has today been resolved peacefully. I hope that we will soon find a solution to the problem of the Arunachal-Assam borders also.”
He said that Modi’s government, a blueprint for the development of the North East in a structured way had never been drawn, but we have made this blueprint, the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India has set the agenda for the development of North East in three parts.
Our first aim is to not only save the dialects, languages, dance, music and food traditions of the North East, but also enrich them and make them the pride of the nation.
Second, by ending all disputes, providing a platform to the youth of the North East through which they can compete with the youth of the world, it is our responsibility to create such a dispute-free, peaceful, extremist-free, weapon-free North East.
The third goal is to take all the eight States of the North-East to the top position in the list of the most developed States of the country.
