‘Is Modi trying to trigger civil war?’: Khera hits back at PM over ‘Dimagi Naxal’ remark in Bastar

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking in Bastar, Chhattisgarh, said that while armed Naxalites had been eliminated from forests, the threat was not over, alleging that “Dimagi Naxals” had infiltrated several organisations and political parties and were inciting people against the Constitution and democracy. Reacting to the remarks, Congress leader Pawan Khera accused the Prime Minister of provoking the armed forces against the youth and warned that such statements could create conditions for a “civil war”. Khera also questioned the intent behind the remarks and criticised Modi for targeting people and organisations over ideological differences.
