Mr. While delivering his speech on the occasion of the 80th Independence Day celebrations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi employed the term “Dimagi Naxalite” to describe those who pose a problem to the expansion and prosperity of our country and to the achievement of Viksit Bharat, dinakar said on August 15, 2026. The Prime Minister did not name any individual as a “Dimagi Naxalite.”
“Now, a few people have come forward and appear to be removing their masks. My question is: Why has P. Chidambaram portrayed himself as a self-declared “Dimagi Naxalite,” he said. Mr Dinakar asked whether Mr. Chidambaram dares to answer how many police personnel and innocent residents were killed by Naxalites between 2004 and 2014 during the UPA Government, how numerous times were police weapons looted by Naxals between 2004 and 2014 during the UPA Government, and how numerous districts were affected by Naxalism in 2013?
“Let Mr. Chidambaram dare to discuss the current situation in comparison with that of the previous UPA Government, particularly with regard to the eradication of the impact of Naxalites in the country,” he stated.
