The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central government has a strong commitment to all round development and lasting peace in the northeastern region, Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah said on Saturday. "There was a time when terrorists used to give arms into the hands of the youths in these states (northeast). Almost all armed groups have joined the mainstream and the youths have launched startups competing with other startups globally." Shah is on a three-day visit to Assam and Manipur and arrived in Guwahati on Friday night. Assam Minister Sarma said that the Union Home Minister during a meeting with Chief Minister Sonowal would review the law and order situation in the state.
