Once again a huge debate has erupted in the country’s politics regarding Naxalism and ideological fanaticism. Union Minister and former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has strongly supported the recent statement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in which he had said that the Naxalites who have taken up arms have now been completely suppressed in the country, but the real and bigger threat comes from those who support ideological or ‘mental Naxalism’. After this frank statement of Jitan Ram Manjhi, the excitement in the political circles of the country has intensified. He explained in detail how in today’s time, urban Naxalites and those who are conspiring to break the country at the ideological level are proving to be more dangerous. Let us know what is the meaning of this statement of Prime Minister Modi and what is Jitan Ram Manjhi’s response to it.
Meaning of PM Modi’s statement which Manjhi said was true
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always taken strict steps regarding the internal security of the country and the end of extremism. In the last few years, due to the joint and aggressive action of the security forces, there has been huge damage to the violent Naxalites and their hideouts operating in the dense forests of states like Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar and Odisha. Many big Maoist commanders have either surrendered or fallen victim to the bullets of security forces. In this context, Prime Minister Modi had said that now the Naxalites roaming around with guns and weapons on the ground have become weak and their scope has narrowed considerably. But along with this he had warned the countrymen and the security agencies that now the danger is from those people who are ideologically poisoning the minds of the youth by staying behind the scenes and creating an atmosphere against the country.
Jitan Ram Manjhi appreciated the Prime Minister’s words
Responding to this visionary statement of Prime Minister Modi, Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi said that the Prime Minister has said absolutely 100 percent right thing. Citing his political and social experiences, Manjhi said that he himself has seen the terrible era of Naxalism in rural and backward areas very closely. He said that there was a time when poor and innocent tribals were misled by giving threat of gun and the development work of the country was hampered. But now due to the strong will and strong security policies of the Central Government, the backbone of those armed Naxalites has been broken. Manjhi stressed that now there is the greatest need to deal with those who are creating ideological differences in the society, running anti-national agenda and trying to weaken the country at the intellectual level.
What is ‘mental Naxalism’ or the threat of urban Naxal?
‘Mental Naxalism’ or commonly known as ‘Urban Naxals’ is becoming a big challenge for security agencies and governments in today’s time. These are those people who appear to be part of a civilized and educated society, but secretly provide ideological, moral and financial support to anti-national forces, violent ideologies and separatist forces. These people, sitting within universities, media, civil society and various institutions, work to create hatred in the minds of the youth against the country’s constitution, judiciary and democratic system. Expressing deep concern over this, Jitan Ram Manjhi said that these people are working like termites within the society, who can prove to be more dangerous than the gun-toting Naxalites for the internal peace of the country.
Ideological fight is necessary for the development of the country and to save the youth.
Jitan Ram Manjhi further said that in today’s time, it is not enough to just keep the security forces strong on the ground, but there is a need to fight a long and decisive battle against this ideological and mental terrorism. He appealed to the youth of the country not to fall into the trap of such intellectuals and organizations who are sad to see the progress of the country and always spread negativity. Manjhi said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is progressing rapidly in every field, and this is not being digested by those forces who do not want to see India progressing. In such a situation, it is necessary that every section of the society remains alert and unites on issues of national interest and fights these ideological conspiracies boldly.
