Fadnavis backs Modi’s ‘intellectual Naxals’ remark
If reports that Sonia Gandhi was unhappy because the full Vande Mataram was played are true, then what else can this be but ‘dimagi Naxalism, says Maharashtra Chief Minister
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis endorsed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's assertion that "intellectual Naxals" are a threat to society, following the Prime Minister's Independence Day address. Fadnavis noted that while armed Naxalism had been defeated, an ideological variant known as "dimagi Naxalism" persists. Addressing the nation on the 80th Independence Day, Modi urged citizens to identify and isolate these ideological Naxals.
Fadnavis drew a parallel to a Congress party event, suggesting that opposition to the full playing of Vande Mataram could also be attributed to this type of Naxalism. The Chief Minister also commented on Prime Minister Modi's proposal to reserve seats for women in Parliament, noting that parties opposing the measure should understand the constitutional conditions attached to the 2023 legislation that enabled the women's reservation.
