PM Modi's Diwali Speech In Bastar: Hails Forces For Naxal-Free India, Recalls Years Of Maoist Terror

Описание: Addressing security personnel in the forests of Bastar, Chhattisgarh on Diwali 2026, the speaker hailed security forces for eliminating Naxal terror and ushering in development. The address marked this as the country's first Diwali where every district across India has become free from Naxalism and Maoist terror after decades of conflict. Emphasising the critical importance of internal security, the speaker expressed gratitude to jawans of the CRPF, CoBRA, BSF, ITBP, SSB, state police forces, and specialized units like Bastar Fighters for their sacrifices. Reflecting on past challenges, the speaker recalled when left-wing extremism spanned over 230 districts across nearly 20 states, leading to up to 2,000 attacks annually. The 2010 Dantewada attack, which claimed the lives of 76 CRPF personnel, alongside another incident killing 44 civilians, was highlighted as a grim reminder of the heavy toll suffered before peace was restored.
