PM Modi emphasised that there has been a history of conflicts and ethnic tensions in Manipur that forced previous governments to impose Presidential rule, ten times.
PM Modi also slammed the I.N.D.I. alliance leaders for their controversial remarks on Sanatan Dharma, Shakti as ascribed in Hindu Dharma and Rahul Gandhi's remarks describing Hindus as violent. He asked Hindus to ponder whether this is 'Sanyog or proyog'.
In a scathing attack, PM Modi admonished Rahul Gandhi while referring to his Hindu remarks in Parliament and said,"These are your Sanskar, your character, your mindset, your hatred with the Hindus of this country."
Back in February 2009, the then Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit inaugurated the terminal in question at the Indira Gandhi International Airport while Praful Patel was the Civil Aviation Minister.
