00:00I call it civil operation. That is all this development. That is what the Honorable Prime
00:05Minister tells. Because until and unless you don't do that, civilians will not come to you because
00:11they have not seen the world. They do not know anything. I am very sure I have talked to them
00:16several times. They don't get anything. You know, the sugar was 75 rupees a kg. That's what in 2013
00:24I was checking. That time it was 75 rupees a kg in Tulsi Duguri and those areas where I have gone.
00:31I have gone like you. I didn't go as a police officer. I went as a journalist with a separate
00:36telephone with chapel and I didn't take any any help from anybody. So, I went to Tulsi Duguri and
00:43there I found they never get any reason and government reason or anything. So, that is how
00:50it has reached them. Now, our battalion, our forward operating bases, we also receive those items from
00:58state masonry and all. We also help in distributing it to the villagers as per their need, as per their
01:07quality and quantity concerned we give them. And the best part of it, a lot of them are being
01:14taken in state masonry also, not only in police forces. They are being taken in civil areas also,
01:22particularly in the health sector, education sector. A lot of ladies have been employed and the young
01:28girls, we thought of teaching them because you see the Buster Olympics did come up. The Buster Olympics
01:36has also helped them. Now, the best part of it, the ladies and the young girls in those areas,
01:43they must come up. I salute to those ladies, the tribal ladies. They are telling their children,
01:50please don't. They are not telling, they are forcing their children. Go and study. You will get a job.
01:57Don't go to the Zonaxals. They have already humiliated us. They have already killed a lot of us. Now,
02:03this is the final thing. We, not even our children should ever join Mao Zim. Mao Zim is going to be
02:11finished. And the best part of it, I request all the states, they must, their civil organizations
02:20must enter, penetrate to those areas where we are there with our forwarding basis and they must start
02:27developing, developing in every respect so that we take the help, we get the help of those tribals.
02:34Tribals are son of the soil. Let us first look after them. I'll give you now one example.
02:40In Sunabada, Kurapur, Dhandakaranya, when in 1971, we had war with Bangladesh, about 50 to 60,000
02:52Bangladesh refugees entered and they were settled in Dhandakaranya by our honorable so-called prime
03:01minister. Then in 1971, I mean, beginning of 1972, anyway, you will come to know who was the prime minister.
03:10And what happened there? What happened there? We, they removed all those tribals from that area
03:17and they gave land. They gave, I mean, cows, they gave bullocks to all these Bangladesh migrants and
03:26sending them out this, this our own tribals. What they will do that? They became Naxalites.
03:33This is not the way for, for Bangladesh refugees, our people suffered. Tribals were not looked after.
03:41We thought perhaps they are from some other country. That is what they also thought about us,
03:47that we are their enemy. We get all the facilities, but they don't get anything. That is what Naxalitji,
03:53Mahavajim, it flourished in and in red corridor. And now the red corridor is not there in 11, 11 districts.
04:02I am very sure it has gone down to 9 districts. Earlier it was in more than 180, I think. 150, yes.
04:10It is now 9, it's not 11, as it was told during Hidma's encounter. Now it is 9 districts and
04:18those 9 districts, all our forces are now entering. We are getting more forces there and we are entering.
04:24We will ensure these, these all 9 districts will be free of biology very soon.
04:32We will ensure Lage absent.
04:38We are getting more음.
