PM Modi urges citizens to identify, isolate 'Dimagi Naxals'
PM Modi Highlights 'Dimaagi Naxals' From Red Fort During I-Day Address, Calls For Their Identification & Isolation - VIDEO · freepressjournal.in

On India's birthday, the leader of India gave a big speech at an old fort called the Red Fort.

He talked about people who believe violence is an answer, calling them 'Dimagi Naxals'.

These people do not fight with guns, but they try to change rules and choices from inside offices.

The leader said everyone should help find these people and keep them away from young people.

Long ago, there was a lot of fighting in some forests of India, and more than 3,500 police officers lost their lives.

Now, most of that armed fighting has stopped.

But the leader said the ideas behind the fighting still exist.

He asked people to stay careful and alert.

He also asked young people to say no to drugs and to help their families fill in Census forms.
