Mangalore : Sri Padmanabha Acharaya Nagarika Sanman Samiti felicitated the Governor of Nagaland Padmanabha Balakrishna Acharya and Kavitha Acharya in a public function at Sanghanikethan here on Monday July 28.
Addressing after felicitation he expressed concern that the illegal migrants, especially from Bangladesh, are “participating in elections” in Assam.
The States in the north east are in danger due to illegal migration from neighbouring countries. The need of the hour is to maintain national integrity and ensure that those States remain a part of the country. He added.
He said that the borders of the north east with eight gateways to neighbouring countries were in danger.
The nation under the “dynamic and able leadership” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and “with a philosophy of Hindutva” had a very special priority for the overall development of north eastern States.
The Union government had its own visions to strengthen security in the borders.
Mr. Acharya, a native of Udupi, said that people in other parts of the country had the onus to infuse the “we feeling” among people of the north east to make them remain in the mainstream of the country. The Governor expressed concern over incidents of attacks on some people from the north east in some parts of the country. Interacting with students from north east in the city he asked them to cultivate friendships with local people.
RSS ideology and ABVP principles have inspired me. If a person is really inspired by this ideology, he can serve the society better. Each and everyone can do good, all we need is will. North-eastern states are the strength of this country. We should have better relationship with north-east people.
“Be friends with your Kannadiga classmates and take part in their family celebrations. All of you must have local guardians here,” he told students.
