Those who want to become lawyers, tell me… why Naxalism has not ended till now? Amit Shah raised sharp questions in Parliament
New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah recently gave a strong speech on Naxalism in the Lok Sabha and raised old questions. He said that Naxalism has almost ended in Bastar region and now rapid development is taking place there. Shah questioned those who have been advocating Naxalism.
Story of change in Bastar
Amit Shah said that schools have been opened in every village of Bastar. Ration shops were started and health centers were established. People were given Aadhaar and ration cards, due to which they started getting 5 kg of food grains. He said that earlier development could not be achieved due to Red Terror. Now that shadow has been removed and Bastar is moving forward on the path of development.
Shah asked- Why did the people who advocated Naxalism here not provide these facilities? Tribal areas were kept away from development because the atmosphere of violence persisted.
The path of constitution and law
The Home Minister asked a direct question to those advocating armed movement – Will you respect the Constitution? If there is injustice, there are courts, assemblies and panchayats. He said that that era is over now. Those who take up arms will be made accountable in the Narendra Modi government. The government is ready to listen and resolve every complaint.
question on congress
Amit Shah also targeted Congress. He said that out of 75 years of independence, there was Congress government for 60 years, yet why was the tribal community deprived of development? Why were schools, clean water, houses, mobile towers and banking facilities not provided? Now the same people are demanding accountability. After the arrival of Modi government, real development has started in these areas.
ultimate goal of naxalism
Shah made it clear that Naxalism does not do any good to any society. It only brings destruction. He appealed to the Naxalites to lay down their weapons and join the mainstream. The government will provide them dignified rehabilitation, but those who continue violence will not be tolerated.
questions to lawyers
Amit Shah’s message to those who are going to become lawyers in the future is clear – answer why Naxalism has not ended. Is justice achieved through violence or through legal means? The government is emphasizing on both development and security. Areas like Bastar are now creating a new identity.
