Assam CM Calls P Chidambaram 'Pure Naxal'

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has accused the Congress of seeking to create anarchy in the country to return to power in 2029.

He made this statement while addressing a press conference at Dispur on Monday.

Sarma described senior Congress leader P Chidambaram as a 'pure Naxal' in response to Chidambaram's recent remark on social media.

Chidambaram had said he was 'proud to be a dimagi Naxal' after Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned the term in his Independence Day address.

Sarma stated that the Congress, under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, is uncomfortable with the peaceful atmosphere prevailing in the country under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

He claimed that the Congress wants anarchy in the country to come to power in 2029.

The Chief Minister also questioned Chidambaram's tenure as Union Home Minister, suggesting that an inquiry should examine whether he had deliberately failed to take adequate action against Naxalism.

Sarma's remarks came days after Prime Minister Modi warned that 'dimagi Naxals' continue to exist, even though security forces have succeeded in eliminating armed Naxals from forests.

Modi had urged citizens to identify and isolate the ideological threat posed by 'dimagi Naxals'.

The exchange between Sarma and Chidambaram highlights the ongoing debate over the term 'dimagi Naxal' and its implications for the country's politics.

The Congress has been critical of the government's efforts to combat Left-Wing Extremism, while the BJP has accused the opposition of supporting extremist ideologies.

The issue is likely to continue to be a point of contention in the run-up to the 2029 elections.

In the context of Assam and other parts of the country, Sarma's statement is significant as it highlights the state's experience with militancy and terrorism.

The Chief Minister's remarks are also a reflection of the broader political landscape in the country, where the BJP and Congress are engaged in a bitter struggle for power.

As the debate over 'dimagi Naxals' continues, it remains to be seen how the issue will play out in the coming months and years.
