Fair to ask what happened to Naga Accord, Yechury to Modi

New Delhi, February 3 (IANS): After violent protests in Nagaland against 33 per cent quota for women in urban local bodies, CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury on Friday questioned the Modi government over the Nagaland peace accord.   "Nagaland is burning. Fair to ask what happened to the 'Naga Accord' (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi signed with great fanfare on live TV," the Marxist leader tweeted.  

Expressing concerns over the situation in some northeastern states, Yechury accused the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of being focused on power grabbing.

  "Besides Nagaland, Manipur troubled. Situation in Assam volatile. Security concerns in Arunachal Pradesh. And BJP focused solely on grabbing power."
