Addressing the nation on the eve of the 80th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that for many years, individuals with a Maoist mindset had entrenched themselves within the corridors of power in the country. This Maoist ideology, he said, influenced policies, even through their roles as advisors on government committees. "We have succeeded in eliminating armed Naxals in the forests and freeing the nation from that crisis. However, while the armed Naxals are gone, 'Dimagi Naxals' remain, and those who harbour this mindset are waiting for an opportunity. They are paving the way for violence and discord. They are employing various tactics to drag society down the wrong path, " the Prime Minister said. He further said that these elements are paving the way for violence and discord and are employing various tactics to drag society down the wrong path. "We must identify these 'Dimagi Naxals.' We need to isolate them and align the nation's youth with the mainstream effort to transform the country into a developed nation," PM Modi said.
