Partition of India broke Northeast's natural connectivity: S Jaishankar at Kirori Mal College
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar criticized the partition of India for disrupting the natural connectivity of northeastern states and affecting growth due to political barriers and administrative issues. He emphasized that the Northeast's growth should have been slowed down due to these factors. Jaishankar also noted that the current economic stability in the Northeast is improving, but urged Delhi to first look east and appreciate the potential of the Northeast.
