Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday renewed his challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for an open debate over his ‘Dimagi Naxal’ remarks. In a post on X addressed to CRPF personnel, Gandhi said Modi had called opposition leaders Naxals and questioned who was truly anti-national and controlled by foreign forces. He challenged the Prime Minister to debate him “any time, any place”. The response came a day after Modi, during his Diwali visit to CRPF personnel in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar, said ideological Naxals had infiltrated several organisations and political parties despite the decline of armed Maoist groups.
