Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted that while the armed Red cadres have been neutralised, ideological Naxal elements continue to stir people across the country.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated in a recent address that the security forces have largely neutralised the armed "Red" factions of the Maoist movement.
He cautioned, however, that "dimagi Naxals"—individuals who spread extremist ideology without taking up arms—remain active and continue to influence vulnerable sections of society.
Modi urged citizens to stay vigilant, cooperate with law‑enforcement agencies and reject extremist narratives, emphasizing that sustained development and good governance are the best antidotes.
The remarks come as central and state agencies intensify operations aimed at curbing Maoist insurgency, reporting a decline in violent incidents over the past months.
