Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday  said Maoist extremism is breathing its last in the country, as he called for "identifying and isolating" the "dimagi Naxals". The remark, however, invited criticism from the opposition leaders who described PM as under confident and shaky person. RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat called upon people to help India become ‘Vishwaguru’ and identify forces who are working against this goal.

 

Addressing the nation on the 80th Independence Day, the prime minister said Naxalism and Maoism destroyed the future of several youths. "For four decades, huge areas and people were in their clutches under the fear of guns.

 

Over 3,500 security personnel died protecting people; the number is higher than those who die in war," he said."When we came to power in 2014, we swore to rid the country of Naxals. I am happy Maoist violence is taking its last breath," he said, adding that several areas have become free of Naxalites and are becoming developed.

 

Modi added, "For years, those with Naxal mentality had their place in the power corridors. They were in government committees as advisors. Maoist thinking impacted policies."We have succeeded in getting rid of armed Naxals in the jungles, but 'dimagi Naxals' (intellectual Naxals) are looking for opportunities to create violence, unrest … They want to drag the society on the wrong path," he said."These 'dimagi Naxals' have to be identified and isolated, and connect the youth with the mainstream," he added. 

 

In Nagpur RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday called on people to strengthen India's independence by making the country happy, prosperous, and secure so that it contributes meaningfully to the world and becomes "Vishwaguru", noting that many people and forces are working against this goal.

 

He also emphasised that views of individuals may differ, but this diversity expresses unity.Addressing a gathering at the Sangh headquarters in Nagpur after hoisting the tricolour on the occasion of the 80th Independence Day, the Sangh chief urged people to strengthen the nation without compromising on core principles and confront challenges to make it a guide to the world.
