Bhopal, Nov 29 (NationPress) In a strong condemnation of Congress, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav stated on Saturday that the long-standing party has a significant link with Naxalites and individuals who are anti-national.
Chief Minister Yadav asserted that the collaboration between Congress and Naxals poses a serious risk to national security.
In a statement shared on the social media platform X, he remarked, "During the UPA administration, the National Advisory Council (NAC) made attempts to undermine the rigorous actions being taken by security forces against Naxalism."
Thanks to the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the leadership of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the Centre's 'zero-tolerance' policy aimed at eradicating Naxalism has successfully decreased the number of districts afflicted by Naxal violence from 126 in 2014 to just 11 by 2025.
CM Yadav's comments come as the 60th All India Conference of Director Generals/Inspector Generals of Police is underway in the neighboring state of Chhattisgarh since Saturday.
Union Home Minister Shah, joined by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Ministers of State for Home Nityanand Rai and Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Intelligence Bureau Director Tapan Kumar Deka, and Home Secretary Govind Mohan, underscored the conference's significance in assessing policing challenges and formulating a strategy for 'Viksit Bharat' - a developed India that is well-prepared to face emerging threats.
Shah noted that the nation has made remarkable strides in the past 11 years in tackling radicalisation, extremism, insurgency, and narcotics.
He emphasized the importance of precise intelligence, clear objectives, and coordinated actions to protect the nation from modern threats.
Home Minister Shah reaffirmed the Modi government's commitment to achieving 'permanent solutions' for enduring issues like Naxalism, Northeast insurgency, and unrest in Jammu and Kashmir, converting them into avenues for integrated progress.
He called for a comprehensive strategy against narcotics, ensuring that no space is left for traffickers, in alignment with the national aspiration of a drug-free India.
The conclave is set to conclude on Sunday, with anticipated outcomes that will influence national policing policies amid escalating geopolitical challenges.
