On November 8, Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated Diwali with CRPF personnel. Spending time with the jawans, listening to their problems and celebrating a festival with them is certainly a good thing. Our security personnel work hard to protect the country, and they deserve respect and appreciation.
But there is one question that needs an answer. The place where the Prime Minister celebrated Diwali did not appear to have even a single diya or any other traditional Diwali decoration. So, what exactly was being celebrated as Diwali? How can a place without diyas or the usual festive decorations represent a Diwali celebration? People deserve an answer.
Modi’s Diwali with CRPF: Where Was the Real Celebration?
Another thing caught people’s attention. Some women CRPF personnel were dancing with Narendra Modi in the middle. Perhaps some people liked watching this. But was this really necessary?
What was Narendra Modi thinking when he participated in this kind of celebration? Spending time with the jawans and listening to their problems was a good initiative. However, it would have been better if the celebration had focused on Diwali rather than turning into something that raised unnecessary questions.
Why Bring Politics into a Diwali Celebration with CRPF?
Narendra Modi also spoke about politics and Naxalism. He talked about how Naxalism had been eliminated from the forests and gave credit to the security forces.
There is no doubt that eliminating Naxalism and maintaining peace in the country are important responsibilities. CRPF jawans have worked hard and fought against Naxalism. Their efforts to eliminate this threat are important, and such action should continue to maintain peace in the country.
But my question is: Why bring political statements into a Diwali celebration with the jawans?
Modi’s Statement on ‘Intellectual Naxals’: Who Are They?
Narendra Modi also talks about so-called ‘intellectual Naxals’. My question to the Prime Minister is simple: Who exactly are these intellectual Naxals?
He says that several organisations have been taken over by such people. Then, what are the names of those organisations? How does Narendra Modi know which organisations are under their control?
If these organisations are working against democracy and the Constitution of India, then take action against them. The government has the power to investigate and act according to the law. Will everything become right simply by giving speeches? Prime Minister Modi, the people deserve clear answers, not just statements from a political stage.
Is Speaking Against the Government Now Called Being an Intellectual Naxal?
Let me ask another important question.
If people speak against the government because they want their rights, are they intellectual Naxals?
If citizens protest because they want justice and want the government to listen to their demands, does that make them intellectual Naxals?
If people raise their voices to protect their rights, should they be given this label simply because they are questioning the government?
And what about BJP leaders and ministers who themselves take part in protests in the name of protecting democracy? Are they also intellectual Naxals, or does this label apply only to people who question the government?
Narendra Modi should explain this clearly to the people.
Modi Must Explain Which Organisations He Is Talking About
At a time when the BJP is in power, the Prime Minister’s words carry great political weight. Perhaps Narendra Modi thought that people would appreciate his speech and agree with his statements about intellectual Naxals.
But the question remains: Does he want people to believe that those participating in protests against the government are all intellectual Naxals?
If that is what he wants to suggest, then he should openly explain who these people are, which organisations they belong to, and what evidence supports his claims.
