On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra stressed that Naxalism in all its forms needs to be uprooted in order to bolster the country’s internal security.
The government has already implemented a policy of zero tolerance against terrorism; now is the time to destroy urban Naxals and Maoists holding pens in order to protect the youth of the country from being misled, he continued.
PM Modi in his address via video conferencing to the Chintan Shivir of state home ministers in Surajkund, Haryana said that “In recent years, all governments have acted responsibly to destroy the terror network’s ground network…We must deal with it by joining forces. We will have to defeat all forms of Naxalism, be it gun-totting or pen-wielding, we will have to come up with a solution for all this.”
The Prime Minister expressed concern that the Maoist-Naxalite forces are expanding their intellectual sphere in order to corrupt the minds of future generations. “We cannot allow such forces to flourish in our country for the sake of national unity and integrity, and with the inspiration of Sardar Patel. Such forces receive significant foreign assistance, he added.
बंदूक वाला भी नक्सलवाद है और कलम वाला भी नक्सलवाद है।
