Nizamabad, Jun 30: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday issued a stern warning to Maoist insurgents, asserting that there will be no dialogue with those holding weapons and calling on them to surrender unconditionally. Shah reiterated the Central Government’s resolve to completely eliminate the Naxal threat by March 31, 2026.

Speaking at a public rally after inaugurating the National Headquarters of the Turmeric Board in Telangana's Nizamabad, Shah made it clear that the Modi government follows a “zero-tolerance policy” towards Maoist violence.

“Our stand is firm — there will be no negotiations with those who take up arms against the nation. Lay down your weapons, surrender, and join the mainstream,” Shah declared, drawing thunderous applause from the gathering.

He also took aim at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for questioning the success of Operation Sindoor, India’s anti-terror and anti-insurgency campaign, stating, “Rahul Gandhi should look at Pakistan’s present condition to understand the impact and success of the operation.”

Highlighting the Centre’s achievements, Shah informed the public that over 1,500 Naxals had surrendered in the last 18 months and more than 10,000 insurgents from the North East had abandoned violence to join the democratic process.

Shah lashed out at the Congress-led Telangana government and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for advocating talks with Maoists. “What would you say to the families of thousands of innocent tribals, police officers, and security personnel killed in Naxal attacks? Is there any justification for such senseless violence?” he asked.

He cautioned the people of Telangana against what he termed as the Congress’ “dangerous appeasement politics” and warned, “If this continues, Telangana could become a safe haven for Maoists across the country.”

Slamming both the Congress and the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) for “rampant corruption,” Shah alleged that while the people rejected BRS due to large-scale scams, the current Congress government had not initiated a single case against the previous regime.

In a passionate appeal, Shah asked the people directly, “Should we eliminate Naxalism or not?” — a question met with a resounding “yes” from the crowd.

The Home Minister’s fiery address marks a significant moment in the government’s campaign against extremism, as it sets a clear timeline for what it aims to be the end of Naxal ideology in India.
