Naxals biggest human rights violators: Amit Shah
10/7/2024 10:41:35 PM
New Delhi, Oct 7:
Agencies

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said security forces have been carrying out “offensive operations” instead of defensive against Naxals and have achieved big successes in recent times.
Addressing chief ministers and top officials of the Naxal-affected states, Shah said due to the improved security situation, high voter turnout — up to 70 per cent — was witnessed in the Maoist-hit region in the last Lok Sabha polls. There was zero polling in the region earlier, he said.
The crucial meeting, which discussed anti-Naxal operations and development initiatives carried out in the affected areas, came days after the security forces killed 31 ultras in the forests of Chhattisgarh in one of the most successful operations against them in recent times.
“Security forces are now carrying out offensive operations instead of defensive operations earlier,” Shah said.
Describing Naxals as the biggest hurdle to development, he said they are the biggest human rights violators who have been depriving over eight crore people of development and basic welfare opportunities.
The Naxal-affected states include Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Telangana, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
Due to the strategy of the Modi government, the Left Wing Extremism (LWE) violence has come down by 72 per cent while there was an 86 per cent decline in deaths in 2023 as compared to 2010. Naxals are fighting their last battle now, officials said.
Union ministers closely involved with providing development support to the LWE-affected states also attended the meeting, along with senior officers from the Centre, states and the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs).
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the guidance of the home minister, the central government is committed to completely rooting out the menace of the LWE by March 2026, the home ministry had said in a statement on Saturday.
The central government is providing all possible assistance to the LWE-affected state governments in fighting the menace.
Shah last chaired a LWE review meeting with the chief ministers of the affected states on October 6, 2023. During the meeting, he gave comprehensive directions to eliminate LWE.
More than 230 LWE cadres have been eliminated so far this year, 723 LWE cadres have surrendered and 812 have been arrested. The number of LWE-affected districts is just 38 now.
The central government has taken many steps, including giving impetus to road and mobile connectivity, to take development schemes to the remotest areas of the affected states.
A total of 14,400 km of road length has been constructed and nearly 6,000 mobile towers have been installed in LWE-affected areas so far, the statement said.
