Raipur, April 6 (NationPress) The Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, delivered a passionate message urging the Maoists to forsake violence and return to the mainstream for the betterment of society.
He shared a touching image of two brave children using mobile phones on his X handle, demonstrating the significant development achieved in the state.
In his post, Amit Shah emphasized, “Once a stronghold of Red Terror (Naxalism), the Bastar-Sukma region, where residents lived in fear, now brings joy as children in Dondra Panchayat use their phones freely.” He added, “This image reflects progress and trust.”
His visit to Chhattisgarh included important engagements on Saturday, such as the grand finale of the Pandum Festival in Bastar and a high-level meeting on the anti-Naxal campaign with Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma, and senior security officials.
On his X handle, HM Shah stated, “Today in Raipur, I held a review meeting on Left Wing Extremism with Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai ji, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Vijay Sharma ji, senior officials, police officers, and CAPF officers. Under Modi ji's visionary leadership, the double-engine government is committed to extinguishing Naxalism. By March 31, Naxalism will be relegated to history, not just in Chhattisgarh but nationwide.”
He commended the bravery of India's security forces, asserting, “Under Modi ji’s guidance, our courageous forces have confined the Naxalites. Whether navigating dense forests or treacherous rivers, enduring harsh climates, our heroic commanders have liberated countless individuals from Naxal influence. Today, I had the honor of meeting with the operational commanders involved in the anti-Naxal operations in Dantewada.”
In a heartfelt appeal to the Maoists, Shah visualized a reformed Bastar, proclaiming, “Bastar is envisioned as a place where its children can aspire to be inspectors, barristers, doctors, and collectors. Each person should courageously pursue the goals of development… under Modi ji’s administration, fear has no place.”
Earlier that day, during a large gathering at the Pandum Festival, the Union Home Minister remarked, “By April 2025, 521 Naxalites have already surrendered, joining the 881 who laid down their arms in 2024. Those who decide to surrender will find their place in society, while those who continue to bear arms will encounter the unwavering strength of our security forces. The Bharatiya Janata Party government is unwavering in its commitment to eliminate this red terror by March next year. Bastar will transition from a symbol of fear to one of a promising future.”
