'Any Time, Any Place': Rahul Gandhi Challenges PM Modi Over Naxal Remark At CRPF Camp

On Monday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a debate over Modi's remarks about "Dimagi Naxals" during a CRPF camp address in Chhattisgarh's Bastar. The video showed Modi celebrating Diwali with security personnel, who Gandhi alleged did not agree with his comments.

Gandhi tweeted, "Dear @crpfindia, Your faces said it all: you didn't buy the PM's lies. He called us Naxals. My challenge stands. Let him debate me on who is anti-national and who is controlled by foreign forces. Any time, any place. My guarantee: after the debate, the PM won't have the guts..." He claimed that Modi would lack the courage to face jawans after the debate.

Gandhi's challenge followed Modi's warning about the existence of "Dimagi Naxals" even after the elimination of armed Naxalites from forests. The Prime Minister claimed that these "Dimagi Naxals" had infiltrated political parties and organizations, inciting people against the Constitution and democracy. He urged security forces to identify and defeat these elements to protect the country.
