New Delhi: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'dimagi Naxal' remark in his Independence Day speech sparked a war of words between the Opposition and the BJP, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday said the PM was not referring to opposition leaders but only to those who support Maoists and separatists and reject the Indian Constitution.
Addressing the nation on the 80th Independence Day, Prime Minister Modi on Saturday warned the country about 'dimagi Naxals' who have allegedly entrenched themselves in the system and continue to pose a threat to society by manipulating policies. He cautioned that "armed Naxals may have gone, but dimagi (intellectual) Naxals are lurking around" and called for "identifying and isolating" them.
