PM Modi: armed Naxals gone, 'Dimagi Naxals' remain
On the night before India's 80th birthday as an independent country, the Prime Minister gave a big speech from the Red Fort.
He said India has gotten rid of armed Naxals, who are fighters hiding in forests.
But he warned that 'Dimagi Naxals' still exist — people who believe in the same ideas even though they do not fight.
He thinks some of these people work in important government jobs and even advise government committees.
He said they want to cause violence and take society in the wrong direction.
He asked everyone to find these people and keep them away from power.
He also wants young people to join the main effort to make India a developed country.
He reminded everyone about India's old glory, called 'Sapta Sindhu.'
Then he said India should gather the strength of 'Sapta Dhara.'
He promised that in the next five to seven years, India will do things it could not do in the last fifty to seventy years.
PM Narendra Modi addressed the nation on the eve of the 80th Independence Day from the Red Fort ramparts.
He said armed Naxals in the forests have been eliminated, but 'Dimagi Naxals' with a Maoist mindset remain.
He claimed Maoist ideology has influenced policies through individuals entrenched in power, including advisors on government committees.
He urged identifying and isolating these elements and aligning the nation's youth with building a Viksit Bharat (developed nation).
He invoked the 'Sapta Dhara' of strength, saying the next five to seven years will achieve what the past five to seven decades could not.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Chief Executive of India
“"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.”
