Addressing the people of Bastar region, Shah said, ‘I want to tell all tribal brothers and sisters to explain to the youth of your village to lay off. Put that arms, come to the mainstream and participate in the development of Bastar.

State and central government dedicated to the development of every Naxal-affected region- Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, ‘Some people talk about talks, I make it clear once again, both our governments- Chhattisgarh and Central Government- are dedicated to the development of every region- Bastar and Naxal-affected every region, what to talk, we have made a very seductive surrender policy, let us give up. If you worked to disintegrate the peace of Bastar on the strength of weapon, then our armed forces will answer it. The date of March 31, 2026 is decided to bid farewell to Naxalism from the land of this country.

Naxalism is the biggest obstacle for development of Bastar- Shah

The Union Home Minister described Naxalism as the biggest obstacle for the development of Bastar and expressed confidence that by next year the problem will end. Shah said, ‘This morning I saw and worshiped Danteshwari Mai. At the feet of the mother, it has been prayed that on March 31, 2026, give strength to our security forces to free the entire Bastar region from red terror.

Some people had spread confusion for many years- Shah

He said, ‘Some people in Delhi spread confusion for years that the birth of Naxalism is a fight for development, but I have come to tell the tribal brothers that the whole of Bastar was bereft of development, development has not reached you, its root cause is Naxalism. Today, every village of the country has been provided with electricity, drinking water, road, toilets in every house, health insurance up to five lakh rupees, five kg free rice and your paddy to 3100 rupees (per quintal). But Bastar is left behind.

More than 500 people put weapons in a month- Shah

Shah said, ‘I want to assure you today (Prime Minister Narendra) on behalf of Modi ji that after 31 March 2026, Naxalites will not be able to stop your development. Will not be able to stop your rights. A lot of work has been done, a lot of work is left.

He said, ‘I have also come to appeal to all of you that children who are misled by misleading, are from your village, explain to them to put weapons and come in the mainstream. The Chhattisgarh government has formulated the best surrender policy in India. More than 500 people have given up arms in a single month. All people should give up arms. As soon as your village is Naxalite free, the Chhattisgarh government will give you one crore rupees for the development of the village. No one will benefit from Naxalism.

What did Union Home Minister say on organizing indigenous fair,

During this time, Shah requested everyone to adopt indigenous items and said, ‘Today, Swadeshi Jagran Manch has also organized Swadeshi fair here. Our Prime Minister has also emphasized the use of indigenous goods. Swadeshi Jagran Manch has been running a mass movement of Swadeshi for many years. Now Modi ji has told everyone that in every house, it has to be resolved that only things made in the country will be used in my house.

He said, ‘Every businessman has to take a pledge that nothing made from abroad will be available in my shop, inside my shopping mall. Today I have come to tell that if the population of 140 crores imbibes Swadeshi’s resolve, then no one will be able to stop our India from becoming the highest economic system in the world.

The Center launched a lot of schemes for the upliftment of tribals- Shah

Shah said, ‘PM Modi has given great relief to mother and sisters across the country by reducing taxes (GST) in 395 items. Only five percent of GST has been kept in daily use things. The Union Home Minister also informed about the work being done by the Central Government for the upliftment of tribals.

He said, ‘The BJP government has started a lot of schemes in honor of the tribals. The biggest thing is that for the first time our leader Narendra Modi has done the work of putting tribal’s daughter, sister Draupadi Murmu for the first time. When His Majesty Draupadi Murmu ji meets the heads of state around the world, then not only the tribal society but our heart is filled with pride.

He said that Prime Minister Modi worked to celebrate the 150 birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda as a tribe pride. Shah said, ‘Our Narendra Modi has done more than the families of Naxalites who surrender in seven districts of Bastar division and those who have been killed in Naxalite violence, our Narendra Modi has done more than 15,000 Prime Minister’s houses fixed for their families.’

The Center gave Rs 4,40,000 crore in 10 years for the development of the state- Shah

In Chhattisgarh, very big news related to Naxalites has come. The Naxalites have decided that they are ready to give up arms and have agreed to hold peace talks with the government. In fact, Naxalite organization spokesperson Abhay has issued a press note, in which a month’s time has been sought from the Naxalites.

During this entire month, the Naxalite organization has demanded ceasefire. It is clearly written in the press note that Naxalite leaders have agreed to talk to the government through video calls. To maintain contact, Naxalites have also released their e-mail ID and appealed to the government to explain their decision through TV or radio.

‘Trying honest at peace talks’- Naxalites
Independence Day, 15 August 2025 has been date on this press note. It is written by the Naxalites in the note that armed struggle is being ‘temporary’. Since March 2025, the Naxalite party has been trying with ‘seriousness’ and ‘honesty’ to hold peace talks with the government.

Naxalite spokesperson Abhay has also written in this note that apart from the changed circumstances of the world and the country, we are constantly deciding to leave the weapons temporarily in view of the request of the Prime Minister, Home Minister and senior police officers to join the mainstream. We are making it clear that as far as possible for public problems, political parties and struggle institutions will run shoulder to shoulder.

What does the Chhattisgarh government say?
The statement of Vishnu Dev Sai Sarkar of Chhattisgarh has also come on this press note issued by the Naxalites. The government says that the main objective is to establish development and peace, but before taking any decision, a report will be sought from the security agencies. This note issued by the Naxalites has increased the expectations of peace talks, but many questions are still left, which need to be found first. It is part of the strategy of Naxalites or they are ready to leave weapons honestly, it should be investigated. The veracity of the press note should also be investigated.

In Bijapur, Chhattisgarh, once again, Naxalites took the life of another teacher, showing cowardly act. Shikshadoot Kallu Tati was posted in Nendra in Gangalur region of Bijapur, which was abducted by Naxalites on the evening of Friday (29 August). Kallu Tati was murdered at the same late night. Kallu was a resident of Tati Takka.

After the re -operation of closed schools, a total of 9 teachers have been killed so far. Naxalites killed 5 in Bijapur district and 4 in Sukma district.

At present, in this murder case, police officials say that the preliminary investigation has feared the involvement of the Naxalites. The intention behind the incident is being ascertained. There is an atmosphere of panic among the people.

3 Shikshadoots have been murdered in Sukma Sukma district
1. Arjun, Dudhi of Gondapalli, was killed on 17 September 2024.
2. On 29 June 2023, Kavasi Sukka of Tadmetla was shot by Naxalites
3. Laxman Barsa was killed on 27 August 2025 in Silger.

Children afraid of going to school
There is both fear and resentment among the villagers since the killing of Shikshadoot Kallu Tati. People say that children are now afraid to go to school. Parents also do not want to send children to study. This definitely proves that the cowardly objective of Naxalites to spoil the future of children and obstruct development is succeeding.

However, it is also certain that this will not last for a long time. With the help of the Center, the anti-naxal operation of security forces is going on in Chhattisgarh, under which hundreds of Naxalites have been killed. At the same time, some people living Naxalite life decided to leave Naxalism and join the mainstream and now they are living a normal life.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday (June 29, 2025) refused any kind of conversation with the Maoists. He said that the workers of banned Maoist organizations should leave weapons and surrender to the police and join the mainstream of the society. Shah said this while addressing a rally after the inauguration of the National Headquarters of Turmeric Board in Nizamabad, Telangana.

Shah targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and said that he is questioning ‘Operation Sindoor’. He advised Rahul Gandhi to look at the weak position of Pakistan to understand the effect of this operation. Shah said, ‘Our government’s policy is clear. There will be no conversation with the weapons. Maoists will have to surrender and surrender and join the mainstream.

So many Maoists surrendered in the last year and a half

The Home Minister said that in the recent few times in the Northeast India, about 10,000 people have abandoned weapons and adopted the mainstream of the society. Many of these people have participated in elections from taluk level to state assemblies. In the last one and a half years, more than 2,000 Maoists have surrendered by giving up arms. This is the proof of the policies and success of the operation.

Shah gave a strong message to the Maoists and said, ‘Leave the weapons and surrender. If you do not do this, then we have decided that Naxalism from the country will be completely abolished by 31 March 2026.

Problems like Naxalism and extremism have to end

Home Minister Amit Shah said that the government is committed to uprooting Naxalism. This statement is part of the strategy of the central government, under which strict steps are being taken to eliminate problems like Naxalism and extremism.

Shah said that the government’s goal is not only to ensure security, but also bring back those who have gone on the wrong path. Those who surrender are being given a chance to start a new life. It is clear from the government’s strict policy and surrender appeal that concrete steps are being taken to end Naxalism.
