Ekta Utsav: Shah says India incomplete without northeast

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: Stressing on the crucial role played by the North-Eastern states in the “unity” of the country, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said that India remained incomplete without the region. Addressing an event organised by the Assam Rifiles to mark “Unity Utsav” here, Shah said, “The word ‘unity’ holds much importance for the North East. He said, “Today, northeast is of entire India, and the entire India is of northeast.” Crediting PM Modi for many developmental initiatives taken by the Centre in the region, Shah said that there were many opportunities for the youth in various sectors such as tourism, technology, agriculture and entrepreneurship. There are many opportunities for youth from the northeast in each sector - from tourism to technology, sports to space, agriculture to entrepreneurship, banking to business.” Without the Northeast, India is incomplete, he added.
