Reminding Modi of his slogan "Sabka sath, sabka vikas (together with all, development for all)", Sangma, whose National People's Party supporting the NDA government, said: "It was totally refreshing to all the people of our country including political practitioners when you announced your policy of sabka sath, sabka vikas. I am sure that you do not approve of the above incidents."
Sangma also informed Modi that he had also received a communication from the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI) wherein they have appealed for the prime minister's intervention in upholding the rule of law, peace and harmony in the context of untoward incidents in different parts of the country, deeply disturbing the Christian community.
