The
problem exists within us. We know that Northeast exists, but we fail to realise
that it’s a part of Indian territory. The Northeasterns have not forgotten that
they belong to India and are its integral part. It’s upon us to realise that
the land and the people belong to us,” Bhagwat said.

“The
Northeast students leave their land on the assumption that at least the country
and the countrymen are known to them. To help them adjust in a better way and
make them feel at home, they should be treated in a way that comforts them,”
Bhagwat said.

Taking
the onus on the development in the Northeast he said, “The condition of the
rest of India is better than the Northeast. And it’s our duty to work for the
development of the Northeast. The Northeast has been neglected, and it’s futile
to find out why the Northeast was neglected, the onus is on us to find a
solution and work on it.”
