New Delhi. There has been a war of words between BJP and Congress for some time regarding the issue of mental Naxalism. Meanwhile, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has strongly attacked Congress MP Rahul Gandhi. Rijiju hit back at Rahul Gandhi's post on PM Modi and said, Rahul ji, thank Modi ji for eliminating the armed Maoists. Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh had described leftist extremism and Naxalism as the biggest internal security threat to India. Our next target is to eliminate the 'mindless Naxalites'.
Rahul ji, thank Modi ji for eliminating the Armed Maoists. Former PM Dr. Manmohan Singh ji had famously described Left-Wing Extremism and Naxalism as “The single biggest internal security threat” to India. Next target is to finish Dimagi Naxals

Actually, like every year, this year too PM Modi had celebrated Diwali with the soldiers of the country. Rahul Gandhi made a tweet in the name of CRPF jawans in which he wrote that your faces told everything that you do not trust the lies of the Prime Minister. They called us Naxalites, my challenge continues. They should debate with me, who is a traitor and who is following the instructions of foreign powers. Any time, any place. While replying to this post of Rahul Gandhi, Rijiju has targeted him.
Recently, Rijiju had made a post taunting Rahul Gandhi in which he had given seven solutions to Rahul Gandhi. Rijiju had said that if Rahul takes these measures then Congress can win more MPs. Rijiju had advised Rahul Gandhi to spend more time in India, avoid frequent silent trips abroad, not meet anti-India people, take Parliament more seriously, respect senior citizens, respect the Constitution of India, end dynastic politics. Rijiju had also asked Rahul to end his deep hatred towards BJP, RSS and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and consider BJP as his political rival and not the enemy.
