In defense of Prime Minister Modi’s controversial term ‘dimagi naxal,’ Kiren Rijiju pointed to former PM Manmohan Singh’s criticism, asserting that such individuals, associated with Maoism, oppose the Indian Constitution. This sparked backlash from opposition figures like Jairam Ramesh, who likened it to the ‘urban naxal’ controversy, and Arvind Kejriwal, who humorously embraced the label, declaring his love for patriotism as a ‘dimagi naxal.’
