Around 11,000 students and professionals from the Northeast left Bangalore afters rumours, sparked off by chain SMSes, in the aftermath of Assam clashes led to panic and a sense of fear.
Decrying rumours about attacks and panic that gripped the people from Northeast in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday made an appeal to remain vigilant and maintain peace at any cost. "We must work together to ensure that all people from other states do not feel threatened by rumour mongering and SMSes. We have to maintain peace at any cost," Singh said at an Iftaar hosted by him when asked about the exodus of people hailing from Northeast from the three states.
"There is nothing to worry. The entire government is with you. We will protect the interests of the northeast people," Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar told representatives of organisations of people from the region at his official residence.
