TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said the Narendra Modi government has brought the number of districts affected by Left-wing extremism in the country down by 70 per cent. The government also lifted the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) from more than 66 per cent area in the Northeast, he said after inaugurating the National Tribal Research Institute in Delhi.
The Union Home Minister said the northeast and Left-wing extremism-affected areas of the country are tribal-dominated regions and security is a precursor to development there. “Secured Northeast and secured central India pave the way for the development of tribals,” he said.
Shah also said that 8,700 untoward incidents took place in the Northeast in eight years when the Congress was in power. This number has reduced to 1,700 under the Modi government, he said. Only 87 security personnel have lost their lives in the Northeast under the Modi government as against 304 during the Congress rule, he said.
