Evening Newswrap: PM Modi warns of 'Dimagi Naxals', Mamata joins Abhishek Banerjee's protest & more

What's behind this

Amit Shah declared that this Diwali marked the first in five decades without Naxalism in India, dedicating the festival to the valour and sacrifice of those who protected the country’s security and peace. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at the same time, said that while armed Maoists have been eliminated, “dimagi Naxals” continue to infiltrate political parties and organisations, instigating people against the Constitution and democracy and targeting political opponents. Opposition leaders, including Congress’s Jairam Ramesh, criticised Modi’s remarks as a political attack during the Diwali celebrations.
