Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh has reiterated that his Government will make every possible effort to punish the guilty in the death of Nido Tania and provide effective protection to students and citizens from other parts of the country, especially the North East, who visit or reside in Delhi.
Issuing a statement, the Prime Minister said, "The attack on Nido Tania, the student from Arunachal Pradesh, is most condemnable.
While the actual cause of Nido Tania's death will be known only after the autopsy report is received, the violence which preceded his demise is tragic and shameful.
Our Government will make every possible effort to punish the guilty and to provide effective protection to students and citizens from other parts of the country, especially the North East, who visit or reside in Delhi " .
The Prime Minister noted that it has been affirmed by all political parties in the Parliament that every Indian should ensure that our fellow citizens from the North East feel safe and that every part of the country welcomes them.
What is at stake is human values, amity in society, and the unity and integrity of the country.
"New Delhi is the national capital and a diverse and vibrant city, enriched by people from all over the country who have made it their home.
People from other parts of the country like the North East are as much a part of the city as anyone else.
All citizens need to work together to ensure that our brothers and sisters from the North East feel safe and secure in Delhi," the statement of the Prime Minister added.
