Congratulations to our Security forces....No compromise on extremism!
And now you see the difference between 10 years of Congis and 5 years of mota bhai
Naxals and Maoists have achieved nothing so far. The path of democracy in the country is open to all.
Due to exploitation, corruption and no basic facilities like transport, communication, electricity, education, and medical facilities this is flourishing.
Only people from Northeast will understand, the deep reason people choose arms, not everyone is perfect but they were forced to do it.
These maoists fighting under some leader hardly knows what they are fighting for or more importantly what they are losing on..leaders leading happy lives leaving these poor uneducated maoists to fight.
If government focus on eradication of corruption and looting, discrimination of underprivileged and enhance freedom and liberty, the Naxal activity can be stopped.
Today’s naxalites are only goons or Chinese puppets. But it started for protection and welfare of downtrodden.
Every government has put in good efforts to eradicate naxalism, some of those govts have managed to actually bring people into mainstream and some govts have taken the necessary brute force way of dealing with violence.
