Opposition leaders hit back at Modi's 'dimagi Naxal' remark

India has a big leader called the Prime Minister, whose name is Narendra Modi.

Every year on Independence Day, he gives a big speech from a famous fort called the Red Fort.

In this year's speech, he talked about people he called 'dimagi Naxals.'

He said that some people still want to create violence and unrest, even though the armed Naxal problem is almost over.

Many people were upset by this, because they thought he was calling everyone who asks questions a 'Naxal.'

Saurav Das, a spokesman for a small party called the Cockroach Janta Party, said it is unfair to brand smart young people just for questioning the government.

Some leaders, like P Chidambaram and Mahua Moitra, even said they are proud to be called 'dimagi Naxals.'

Another leader, D Raja, said the Prime Minister should focus on young people's problems, like education and jobs, instead of targeting critics.

The argument over this one word has become a big political fight between the government and its opponents.
