Golaghat (Assam) [India], August 7 (HBTV): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa said on Wednesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will make sure that the North-East does not become a safe haven for terrorists. 

Speaking on the political turmoil in Bangladesh, Sarma said, "PM Modi will make sure that the North East does not become a safe haven for terrorists." 

He said that the incident in Bangladesh was a matter of concern for two reasons. Firstly, for the reason that if the turmoil continues, then the people of Bangladesh would come to India, and secondly, all extremists of the north-east were removed from Bangladesh during Sheikh Hasina's rule. 

"The incident in Bangladesh is a matter of concern for us for two reasons. Firstly, if this turmoil continues, then the people of Bangladesh will come to India. We need to make our borders safe. Secondly, all extremists of the North East were removed from Bangladesh during the rule of Shiekh Haseena," he said. 

Sarma stated that it would remain a matter of concern if Bangladesh becomes a valley of North East extremists. 

"It will remain our concern that Bangladesh does not become a valley of North East extremists... We hope that the Indian government will be in talks with the new government and that the concerns of the North East will be considered," Sarma stated. 

Bangladesh is facing a fluid political situation, with Sheikh Hasina tendering her resignation from her post in the wake of mounting protests on August 5. The protests, led mainly by students demanding an end to the quota system for government jobs, evolved into anti-government demonstrations.
