Union Home Minister Amit Shah targeted Congress and Rahul Gandhi over Naxalism in the Lok Sabha. He criticized “Urban Naxals” for supporting armed Maoists while ignoring the deaths of ordinary citizens. Shah cited the 2010 Chintalnar attack, Mahesh Raut’s Naxal connections, and alleged Rahul Gandhi’s meetings with Naxal leaders like Gaddar. He condemned JNU events that glorified Naxal violence and questioned the opposition’s stance on development and security. Shah highlighted the government’s commitment to eradicating Naxalism, stating that the Naxal-free target set for March 31 has been achieved. He warned that citizens will hold those responsible accountable in elections, reaffirming the government’s firm stance on ending left-wing extremism and ensuring the safety of the nation.
