Urban Naxals trying to enter Gujarat, misguide youth: PM Modi
Bharuch (Gujarat), October 11: Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded Gujarat's tribal communities on Monday while also warning them about "Urban Naxals" who are attempting to enter the state by changing their appearance.
The Prime Minister stated that the Urban Naxals are "luring the youth" and urged citizens to "warn their children" about their "initiative to destroy the country." PM Modi made the statements on Monday when laying the foundation stone and dedicating multiple projects worth over Rs 8,000 crore to the nation in Amod, Bharuch.
"These Naxalite-minded people first tried their best to stop Sardar Sarovar Dam, and now these Urban Naxals are trying to enter with a new look. They have changed costumes, luring energetic youth," PM Modi stated, taking a veiled jibe at the Aam Aadmi Party which is also in the fray in the upcoming Assembly elections in the state.
"Naxalism started in Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, some parts of Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Andhra, Telangana and Gadchiroli in Maharashtra. Naxalism destroyed the lives of our tribal youth. Guns were put in their hands, provoking them to play the game of death. I do not want to allow Naxalism to enter Gujarat, I have to save my tribal brothers and sisters, I should not let this type of disease enter their lives, so, from Umargam, I did development till Ambaji," he further said.

PM Modi expressed gratitude to the tribal community for preventing Naxalism from entering Gujarat, while simultaneously stating that Urban Naxals are "setting foot from above."
"I have to say with satisfaction that my words were accepted by the tribal brothers and sisters. The result was that Naxalism could not enter Gujarat through that route. For that, I express my gratitude to my tribal brothers and sisters. But now Urban Naxals are setting foot from above," he added.
PM Modi accused the Urban Naxals of taking the initiative to "destroy the country," calling them "agents of foreign forces."
"We should warn our children that Urban Naxals have taken the initiative to destroy the country. They have come as agents of foreign forces. Gujarat will never bow down in front of them," the Prime Minister stated.
