Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah on Saturday addressed the closing ceremony of the Bastar Olympics in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh. On this occasion, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma, and many other dignitaries were present.
On this occasion, Amit Shah said that we had resolved to eliminate Left Wing Extremism from the entire country before March 31, 2026, and today at the Bastar Olympics-2025, we stand on the cusp of achieving that.
He said that by next year, by the time of the Bastar Olympics-2026 in November-December, red terror would have been completely eradicated from the country including Chhattisgarh, and a Naxal-free Bastar will be progressing forward.
Shah said that in the Bastar Olympics-2025, there were seven teams from the seven districts and one team consisting of surrendered Naxalites.
He said that it felt very good to see more than 700 surrendered Naxalites participating in these games. He said that those who fall for the deception of Naxalism ruining their entire lives, and more than 700 such youth who have laid down arms and joined the mainstream have today come onto the path of sports.
Appealing to the tribal leaders and social workers, the Home Minister said that those who are still roaming with weapons in their hands should be persuaded to come back into the mainstream of society.
