Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared the elimination of armed Maoists a victory for the government's policies, warning that ideological 'dimagi Naxals' continue to pose a challenge.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stated that the government has successfully eliminated the threat posed by armed Maoists. He described this achievement as a direct result of the administration's robust policies and strong political will. The Prime Minister emphasized that the state has effectively countered the violent insurgency in affected regions.
However, PM Modi cautioned that the battle is not entirely over. He identified 'dimagi Naxals'—a term used for those who support Naxal ideology without necessarily carrying weapons—as a remaining threat. According to the Prime Minister, while the physical presence of armed insurgents has been neutralized, the ideological influence needs to be addressed through sustained efforts. The government remains committed to ensuring national security and stability.
