Modi accuses Cong of backing ‘Urban Naxals’
Hindustan Times Thane
|October 18, 2025
The day is not far when India will be free from Naxalism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday, as he accused the previous Congress regime of nurturing “Urban Naxals”.
Modi said that during the term of the previous Congress-led government, “the ecosystem of Urban Naxals had become so dominant that the rest of the country remained unaware of the extent of Maoist terrorism. While terrorism and Article 370 were widely debated, Urban Naxals occupied key institutions and actively worked to suppress discourse on Maoist violence. Just some days ago, several victims of Maoist terrorism had come to Delhi in large numbers. Some had lost their hands, legs, and eyes. They were innocent people, who had been affected by Maoist terrorism. Yet the opposition ecosystem ensured that their plight received little attention”.
