Under leadership of PM Modi, security forces have achieved decisive victory against Left Wing Extremism: Amit Shah

New Delhi: Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the security forces have achieved decisive victory against Left Wing Extremism for the last nine years by fighting a fierce battle, said Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah in his address at the 84th Raising Day celebration of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) as the Chief Guest at Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, on Saturday.

He said that the CRPF is organizing its Raising Day Parade for the first time in Chhattisgarh's Bastar, the epicentre of Left Wing Extremism, and it is a matter of pride for the entire nation, adding that for internal security and peace in the country, the people have complete trust in CRPF Jawans, which is built by their courage and bravery.

“CRPF has played a very commendable role in restoring peace in Left Wing Extremism affected areas, J&K and Northeast. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, there has been a sharp decline in violence in left-wing extremism-affected areas, and now development is reaching to the last person in these areas,” he said.

He said that the CRPF has uprooted left wing extremism which had caused obstruction in the development of tribal areas. The incidents of Left Wing Extremism related violence have come down by 76 per cent from the peak of 2010 and casualties have also come down by about 78 per cent, he said.

Union Minister Amit Shah also launched Prasar Bharti’s news bulletin service in Bastar division in the local Halbi language and congratulated All India Radio and Doordarshan for starting the first news bulletin in the native language of tribal people.

“This will not only strengthen our local languages and dialects, but people living in this region will be able to get news of events happening world over and connect with the country and the world,” he said. /BI/
