New Delhi, Aug 18: The Congress on Wednesday alleged that there was total chaos and complete breakdown of law and order and constitutional machinery in the Northeast under the watch of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
Senior party leader Randeep Singh Surjewala asked where is the Modi government when there are war-like hostilities between states ruled by BJP-NDA and when miscreants are attacking the convoy of Meghalaya Governor and militants firing through the streets.
"Chaos prevails and a complete breakdown of law and order and Constitutional machinery in the North East under the watch of the PM and HM," he said on Twitter.
"Assam-Mizoram clash-police firing continues. 7 died earlier. War-like hostilities between two States ruled by BJP-NDA.
"Miscreants attack the convoy of Meghalaya Governor. Militants were firing through the streets. The Home Minister of the state has resigned. China intruding into Arunachal. Where is the Modi Government," he asked.
Curfew was imposed in Shillong and mobile internet services withdrawn in at least four districts as vandalism and arson rocked the Meghalaya capital and nearby areas on Independence Day during the funeral procession of a former militant, who was killed in a recent police encounter. Earlier, in violent clashes between the Assam and Mizoram Police, several policemen were killed amid border tensions between the two states.
