Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not refer to Opposition leaders as people with a Maoist mindset, Union minister Kiren Rijiju said today amid swipes by Congress leaders including P Chidambaram on the matter. In a post on X, the parliamentary affairs minister said the words “dimagi Naxals” referred only to those who supported Maoists and rejected the Constitution, those who stood with separatists and supported Article 370. They also referred to people who call for cutting off the Chicken’s Neck to separate India’s northeast from the rest of the country. Rijiju said. Chicken’s Neck is the thin strip of 22-km-wide land corridor in West Bengal that links up with India’s northeast. “PM Narendra Modi ji didn’t say Opposition leaders as Dimagi Naxals. Only following are Dimagi Naxals: 1. Who support Maoists and reject Indian Constitution. 2. Who stand with separatists & support Article 370. 4. Who want to cut chicken neck to separate North-East from India,” Rijiju said in the post.
