Naxals won't get rest in monsoon, operations will continue during rain: Amit Shah

'Every time during the rainy season, Naxalites used to get rest (as swollen rivers hamper anti-Naxal operations inside dense forest), but this time, we will not let them sleep during monsoon and we will move further to achieve the target of 31/3 (2026 to eliminate Naxalism)', Shah said.
Shah laid the foundation stones for the National Forensic Science University (NFSU) campus and a Central Forensic Science Lab in Chhattisgarh's Nava Raipur Atal Nagar.
Raipur, June 22 (PTI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said Naxalites won't get rest during monsoon as operations against them will continue during rains, even as he appealed to Maoists to lay down arms and join the journey of development while ruling out any talks.
He appealed to Naxals to surrender and avail of the benefits of a 'lucrative' surrender policy.
'Lay down arms and join the journey of development; no need for talks. Just give up armed struggle and join the mainstream,' he added.
'I wholeheartedly welcome back all those who have laid down their arms and joined the mainstream and assure them that whatever promises the Chhattisgarh government and the Centre have made to them will be fulfilled, and we will try to help you even more,' he added.
Shah said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision is very clear to make India a developed country by 2047.
'It is not focused only on innovation, infrastructure, industrial and economic developments but ensuring timely justice is also included and three new laws (Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam) will help in ensuring timely justice,' Shah added.

‘No place for anti-people ideology': Samajwadi Party expels MLAs who cross-voted in Rajya Sabha polls; rebels had backed BJP candidate

LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party on Monday expelled three MLAs who cast their votes in support of the BJP candidate in the Rajya Sabha elections. The party removed Abhay Singh from Gosaiganj, Rakesh Pratap Singh from Gauriganj, and Manoj Pandey from Unchahar constituencies for their actions against party principles and supporting policies deemed detrimental to various sections of society. "Samajwadi Party in public interest expels the following MLAs from the party due to their communal divisive negativity and supporting anti-farmer, women, youth, business, working professionals and 'anti-PDA' ideology, as opposed to the politics of socialist harmonious positive ideology: 1. MLA Gosaiganj Mr. Abhay Singh 2. MLA Gauriganj Mr. Rakesh Pratap Singh 3. MLA Unchahar Mr. Manoj Kumar Pandey The grace period given to these people for change of heart has now been completed, the remaining time period is remaining due to good conduct. In future also there will be no place in the party for 'anti-people' people and activities contrary to the basic ideology of the party will always be considered unforgivable. Wherever you live, be trustworthy," Samajwadi Party said in an official statement on X. Party sources indicate potential expulsion actions against additional rebel MLAs in the future. According to Samajwadi Party sources, seven MLAs, including Chief Whip Manoj Pandey, disrupted party unity by backing the BJP's candidate during the Rajya Sabha elections. This action has caused significant displeasure to party president Akhilesh Yadav . Post the Lok Sabha elections conclusion last year, Yadav began proceedings to terminate the membership of these seven MLAs. Following the Samajwadi Party's success in securing 37 seats in Uttar Pradesh during the Lok Sabha elections, seven MLAs sought meetings with SP leader Akhilesh Yadav to discuss party re-entry. However, Akhilesh Yadav refused to entertain their requests for meetings or readmission.
