May 2025: India's Historic Triumph Over Terrorism and Naxalism

When future generations read the history of the country, the month of May 2025 will thrill them greatly.

- 

Firstly, between May 7 and 10, India launched such a powerful strike against terrorists crossing the border to wreak havoc and their handlers that they will be nursing their wounds for years. Secondly, in the same month, a major operation was successfully conducted against Naxalites, who, under the guise of an ultra-left movement, have been waging war against their own country for decades. It now seems that the final bastion of Naxalism is on the verge of collapse. Terrorism in Kashmir and Naxalism in several states have been festering wounds for years. Eliminating both was absolutely necessary. On one hand, the Indian Army destroyed nine terrorist hideouts in Pakistan, while on the other, special security forces engaged in anti-Naxal operations eliminated several top Naxal leaders and others involved in numerous killings.

While the entire nation was celebrating the success of Operation Sindoor on May 11, hundreds of our soldiers were pursuing Naxalites in the jungles, who, over the past few decades, had mercilessly killed hundreds of people from the political class, business community, police, and paramilitary forces. Among these was an incident on May 25, 2013, when armed Maoists ambushed and killed 25 Congress leaders in Chhattisgarh’s Darbha Valley, including former state minister Mahendra Karma, Chhattisgarh Congress chief Nand Kumar Patel, and senior leader Vidyacharan Shukla. It is now a matter of relief that Naxalites are being eradicated from the Chhattisgarh-Telangana border region.
