The Central government’s approach has aggravated the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, the Northeastern region, Chhattisgarh and other States, claimed Mr. Sangma, chairman of the North East Congress Coordination Committee. Mr. Modi has failed to deal with security of the nation effectively, the former Meghalaya Chief Minister alleged. “War is being fought daily in Jammu and Kashmir, Northeast, Chhattisgarh and other States but the government’s approach has aggravated the situation. The BJP has been trying to project that it is the only one capable of taking care of the nation’s security, he said. Without naming anyone, Mr. Sangma said a senior Minister in the BJP-ruled Assam has gone on record saying if the party returns to power at the Centre, the Bill will be implemented by June or July this year.
