Addressing National Security Concerns
The Prime Minister acknowledged the pain of families affected by Maoist insurgency, particularly those from economically weaker and tribal backgrounds. He expressed confidence that with collective national resolve and the blessings of affected mothers, India will achieve complete liberation from such terrorism.
“I understand the pain of those mothers who have lost their sons to Maoist terrorism. Most of them belonged to poor and tribal families. I firmly believe that with the blessings of these mothers, the country will soon be completely free from Maoist terrorism.” Shri Modi remarked.
