Assam Unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) asserted of filing at least 1000 sedition cases against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his controversial tweet ‘India Exists from Kashmir to Kerala, Gujarat to West Bengal,’ which has been depicted as a move to deliberately ignore the northeast and concede with China’s illegal demand for Arunachal Pradesh.

The Wayanad Member of Parliament (MP) & Congress Leader – Rahul Gandhi in one of its tweet stated that “There is strength in our Union. Our Union of Cultures. Our Union of Diversity. Our Union of Languages. Our Union of People. Our Union of States.”

“From Kashmir to Kerala. From Gujarat to West Bengal. India is beautiful in all its colours. Don’t insult the spirit of India.” – he further added.

There is strength in our Union.

Our Union of Cultures.
Our Union of Diversity.
Our Union of Languages.
Our Union of People.
Our Union of States.

From Kashmir to Kerala. From Gujarat to West Bengal. India is beautiful in all its colours.

Don’t insult the spirit of India.

Responding to the controversial remark, the Assam Chief Minister – Himanta Biswa Sarma stated “India is far beyond just a union. We are a proud Nation. Bharat cannot be held hostage to your tukde tukde philosophy. What is your problem with Nation, Nationality and Nationalism? And hello- beyond Bengal, we Northeast exist.”

The Tripura Chief Minister – Biplab Kumar Deb also castigated the party & its leader – Rahul Gandhi for his deplorable remark. “In order to preach, Mr. Rahul Gandhi has forgotten our beautiful North Eastern states. Just like his great grandfather, he excluded our region? We are also a proud part of India. Your ignorance is the reason of your party’s total wipe out from Northeast.” – stated Deb.

Meanwhile, the Chief Minister of poll-bound Manipur – N. Biren Singh mentioned “It baffles me when a senior @INCIndia leader ignores the existence of North East India in their statements. When the existence of this region is not even acknowledged, how is Congress asking for votes to the people of Manipur for the upcoming election? Who’s dividing the Nation?”
