P. Chidambaram Slams Centre For Not Paying Attention To Manipur, Sikkim Crisis
Taking to X platform, Chidambaram said, “If Manipur is burning, Sikkim has been devastated by cloudburst and flooding. Both are small Northeastern states that are crying for help. The eyes and ears of the Central government are tightly shut.”
Carrying out his lambast, the Congress leader further added that neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor Union Home Minister Amit Shah paid visit to the flash floods-hit state of Sikkim that has witnessed more than 70 deaths and many other missing.
“Neither the Hon’ble PM or the Hon’ble HM has found the time to visit Sikkim and offer the people solace and succour. The sum offered to Sikkim, Rs 44 crore, has added humiliation to neglect. When will the Central government realize that it is a government for all the states?” Chidambaram added.
