Kiren Rijiju Lists Who He Calls ‘Dimagi Naxals’, Hits Back At Chidambaram’s ‘Proud’ Remark

Prakash Raj Message

The account has also retweeted a message posted by actor Prakash Raj. In the post, Raj writes: “Dimagi bano .. Bewakoof nahi. Sawaal karo .. Gulami nahi.”

The activity comes after Modi’s Independence Day address, in which he referred to people with a “dimagi naxal” mindset. Congress leader P Chidambaram later responded by saying he was “proud” to be a “dimagi naxal”.

Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju subsequently said Modi had not referred to opposition leaders as “dimagi naxals”. Rijiju said the term applied to those who support Maoists and reject the Indian Constitution, stand with separatists and support Article 370, or want to cut the “chicken neck” connecting the Northeast with the rest of India.

Rijiju also shared a video of Sharjeel Imam’s remarks about the “chicken neck” and said those supporting such people were the ones being called “dimagi naxals”.
