Amid the ongoing border dispute between Assam and Mizoram, BJP's MPs from the Northeastern states on Monday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and blamed the Congress for indulging in politics over the issue.

Sources said that the MPs met the Prime Minister to discuss issues concerning their states and the ongoing border dispute between Assam with other neighbouring states. The MPs submitted a memorandum on various issues pertaining to the development of the region along with border dispute between Assam and Mizoram.

"Like our fellow Indians, we are extremely pained by the violence that took place on the Assam-Mizoram border.
