Around 3,000 militants laid down their weapons and joined the mainstream of society and today these youths are engaged in the development of the country.

Shri Amit Shah said during previous government there were three I's, Instability, Insurgency and Inequality. We have changed the three I’s to Innovation, Infrastructure and Integration, only then can the country can become one and the North East become one. He said that we should take the three I's formula and Prime Minister's call of Ashtalakshmi to the ground level. We have made Manipur blockade free, bandh free and have taken it on the path of development and will also ensure to make Manipur drug free if given a chance. To promote Manipuri culture, we are building a museum for the Queen Mother and all tribal leaders. 31 Tribal Museums will be set up across the country, out of which one will be in Manipur. He also congratulated the Chief Minister and the Manipur government for good COVID-19 management and said that oxygen plants have also been set-up in all 16 districts. Shri Narendra Modi has placed a vision us all, that there should be a developed North East, which should become the basis for the development of the whole of Eastern India and through this can Eastern India and the whole of India develop.
