Over 8200 cadres surrendered in Assam since Narendra Modi became PM, says CM Sarma

Digital Desk: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the historic memorandum ceremony for the tripartite agreement between the government and the ULFA pro-talks faction. 

During his press address, CM Sarma highlighted that since Modi assumed office in 2014, over 8200 militants in Assam have surrendered, showcasing the success of the government's policies.

The agreement, witnessed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, signifies collaborative efforts to achieve an insurgency-free Northeast, aligning with Modi's vision of peace, prosperity, and comprehensive development for Assam and neighbouring states.

The substantial surrender of militants reflects the efficacy of government initiatives in resolving long-standing conflicts in the region. Guided by Prime Minister Modi, the Ministry of Home Affairs has played a pivotal role in signing nine peace and border-related agreements in the Northeast, fostering peace across a significant area.

Statistics reveal a remarkable decline in violent incidents, deaths, and kidnappings by 87%, 90%, and 84%, respectively, since 2014, underscoring the success of these peace initiatives. The ULFA agreement includes provisions for laying down arms, disbanding armed organizations, vacating occupied camps, engaging in peaceful democratic processes, and upholding the country's integrity.

This milestone marks the realization of a broader vision for an insurgency-free Northeast, heralding a new era of peace not only for Assam but for the entire region. 

It exemplifies the Modi government's commitment to national security and regional development, showcasing tangible progress in fostering stability and prosperity in the Northeast.
