00:00Prime Minister Modi addresses Janjathia Gaurav Divas in Gajiroli.
00:06Prime Minister hails India's fight against Naxalism, where Prime Minister says, and I quote,
00:12Freedom from Naxalism and Maoism is but a major achievement for our forces.
00:18Naxal violence hurt tribals the most. 125 districts were Naxal-affected in 2014.
00:25Thousands of lives were lost in Naxal violence.
00:29Tribals' rights were snatched away by them. Tribals were denied their right to vote.
00:34Then governments, in fact, abandoned the Naxal-affected people.
00:38Tribal women, bless us, after Naxalism has been removed.
00:43This is yet another reiteration of the victory against Naxalism that we see has taken place
00:50over the last couple of years with the operations under this government's tenure itself.
00:55Let's quickly listen in to that excerpt of what the Prime Minister has said on the matter.
01:03Naxalism isooo is worse than a fourth power of Naxalism,
01:06which I am aware of Naxalism, that is finally the BDEDisto.
01:15Naxalism is buff.
01:16Naxalism is the "...Naxalism,"
01:19Naxalism is the same way of Naxalism,
01:22it's a future movement that's always known for each of the months,
01:25it's,
01:26। । । । । ।
01:58। । । । । । ।
02:05And Piyush continues to stay with us on the broadcast.
02:08Piyush, we've seen, especially in the recent times,
02:12how the Prime Minister has, across platforms,
02:16come out to congratulate as well as, you know,
02:20reiterate the importance of how Naxalism has indeed been dealt with
02:25a heavy hand by the forces, especially under his government.
02:28And we've seen an end to that very Naxal forces that used to operate.
02:35And he has to say that the tribals were the most affected by Naxalism
02:38and they were abandoned by the previous government,
02:40unlike this government, which has paid immense attention to their problems
02:45and made sure Naxalism is completely uprooted and thrown out.
02:49Well, that's right.
02:51And remember that Prime Minister was in Gatcharuli, Maharashtra,
02:54where he was taking part in the 51st birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsham Munda
02:59and while he was addressing tribal care,
03:02he made a very relevant point that how the government,
03:06Modi government has fought against Naxalism
03:09and today India is Naxal-free.
03:12Why?
03:12Because of the kind of efforts that were put in by the government.
03:15And Gatcharuli, one of the most affected districts of Maharashtra
03:20from Naxalism is now Naxal-free.
03:22And after the country has been announced as Naxal-free,
03:27various areas, those who are Naxal-affected,
03:29are now seeing the series of development projects being introduced there.
03:33While talking about how the government has, you know,
03:37focused on Naxal-free movement,
03:39Maharashtra Modi also celebrated the rich heritage, culture
03:42and also contribution of India as the tribal communities.
03:46Prime Minister also said that the tradition of celebrating
03:49the Naxal-Gaurab divorce was initiated on 15th of November 2021
03:54and has totally transformed into a national festival.
03:58So he not only congratulated tribals for the big day,
04:02but also highlighted how India stands Naxal-free
04:05and now development is making its way in the district.
04:10Absolutely, Piyush.
04:11Thank you for putting that into context for our viewers.
04:14And on that note, we will shift focus to more stories coming in.
