According to a release from the Governor’s Secretariat, Raj Bhavan, the five MPs expressed their apprehension that unless the situation is brought under control in time, an uncontrollable communal flare up cannot be ruled out which will adversely affect the nation in general and the whole Northeastern states in particular.
All the MPs expressed that they will extend cooperation to all whatever they can do from their side.
The governor reiterated the appeal to all sections of the society, especially to womenfolk, to extend their fullest cooperation to the security personnel while discharging their responsibilities to restore peace in the state, the Raj Bhavan said.
