नार्थ-ईस्ट में 7 दशक से ज्यादा कांग्रेस पार्टी ने शासन किया और इन्होंने ही नार्थ-ईस्ट को खत्म किया है।

Launching an attack on the grand old party, Rijiju said that the Congress party ruled the North-East for more than seven decades and destroyed the North-East.

Earlier in the day, Rahul Gandhi launched a full frontal attack on the BJP, saying that the BJP had not utilised the Army to its full potential, resulting the mass killings in Manipur. Speaking about the Manipur violence, Rahul Gandhi blamed the government for not being able to contain the situation.

However, Speaker Om Birla took exception to the speech and asked him to refrain from using such statements. To this Rahul Gandhi replied that he was only talking about his murder.

Rahul Gandhi also said that the BJP is supplying kerosene to the entire nation and had lit the spark in Manipur. "Now you are targeting Haryana and are plotting against the entire country." Reacting to Gandhi's speech, BJP MPs started raising slogans in the House. Union minister Kiren Rijiju said Rahul Gandhi should apologise."Congress party is responsible for the militancy in Northeast. They killed northeast," the Union minister said.
