On Sunday (28th September), Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed that 10500 Naxals, who picked up arms against the Indian State, have surrendered before the Indian government.
“10500 youths who used to roam with automatic weapons, supplied by enemies of India, have surrendered and joined the mainstream. This has been facilitated by none other than the BJP government,” he stated.
The Union Home Minister pointed out, “There was a time when the Northeastern part of India felt completely isolated. When we used to go to the Northeast, people used to ask, ‘When did you come from India?'”
