Armed Naxalism dealt with, now time to isolate ‘dimaagi Naxals’: PM Modi in I-Day speech
On the 80th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation, stating that Maoist extremism is nearing its end in India. However, he called for identifying and isolating what he called "dimagi Naxals" – those with an intellectual or dimagi Naxal mindset. These individuals occupy positions in power corridors and influence policies with Maoist thinking, according to Modi.
He emphasized that Naxalism and Maoism have destroyed the future of millions of young people, taking away their sons and ruining countless lives. For four decades, vast areas and people have lived under the constant threat of gun violence, with over 3,500 security personnel losing their lives protecting their communities.
