New Delhi : Two small northeastern states, Manipur and Sikkim, find themselves in the throes of disaster, both desperately seeking assistance in their time of need. Yet, the cries for help from these regions appear to have fallen on deaf ears within the central government.
In this trying period, neither the Hon’ble Prime Minister nor the Hon’ble Home Minister has taken the time to visit Sikkim and extend solace and support to its beleaguered citizens.
Adding to the distress, the financial aid offered to Sikkim, a mere Rs. 44 crore, has been seen as a source of humiliation rather than genuine assistance.
A senior Congress leader and former Finance Minister voiced these concerns, questioning when the central government would recognize its responsibility as a government that serves all states equally.
The urgent need for attention and support in these northeastern states underscores the importance of swift and equitable assistance during times of crisis.
