Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced in the Lok Sabha that Naxalism has been almost completely eradicated from various parts of the country. Notably, this objective has been achieved even before the pre-determined deadline of March 31, 2026. This is not an ordinary accomplishment—it is a historic victory for the nation.

Amit Shah had repeatedly emphasized that “Naxalism must be eliminated,” and he has now fulfilled that commitment. During nearly 60 years of Congress rule, tribal communities faced neglect—their land, water, and development needs were overlooked. Naxal groups took advantage of this situation to expand their influence. However, after 2014, the BJP government adopted a combined model of strong security measures and accelerated development.

The results are remarkable: the number of Naxal-affected districts has come down significantly from 125 to just 6. Today, these regions are witnessing an atmosphere of peace and stability.

This achievement is not merely symbolic—it represents a transformation in the lives of tribal communities. Areas that once echoed with the sounds of guns and explosions are now seeing rapid development in the form of roads, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure. Tribal citizens are gaining access to their rights and are increasingly becoming part of the country’s mainstream growth.

Under the leadership of Amit Shah, the Ministry of Home Affairs has effectively coordinated security forces with development initiatives. The results of this integrated strategy are now clearly visible. This is not just about one region—it is about strengthening the internal security of the entire nation.

The government led by Narendra Modi had promised that no internal threat would be allowed to hinder India’s progress, and today, that promise is steadily being fulfilled.

This statement by Home Minister Amit Shah, an inspiring thought for the youth of India, is like a beacon. There is a wonderful confluence of the soul of India and modernity in this sentence.

Our ancient scriptures, the Vedas and the Upanishads are not just religious books but a mine of knowledge. They describe the origin of the universe, the depth of the human mind, the mystery of consciousness and the basic principles of life. Wouldn't it be amazing if today's science were combined with this knowledge? The similarity between the principles of quantum physics and the 'Advaita' of the Upanishads, the union of yoga and neuroscience, the combination of Ayurveda and genetic engineering, all this is in the hands of the Indian youth.

Today's young India is no longer just an app maker, a code writer or a startuper. It is now becoming a thinker, a researcher and a carrier of culture. When it understands the ‘rit’ (cosmic order) of the Vedas in the language of data science, and searches for the ‘soul’ of the Upanishads in the context of artificial intelligence, then India will become a world leader not only in technology but also in the world of knowledge.

Today, there is a need for a time when the youth, without forgetting their heritage, scale the heights of the future. They should bring the Vedas and Upanishads to life not in the dust of ancient texts but in laboratories, AI models and space missions. Only with this combination will India become a force that will take science and spirituality to higher peaks together.

Today, the youth of the country do not just have codes or degrees in their hands, but thousands of years of knowledge and the future of the coming centuries. It is in the hands of today’s youth to once again make India the center of human knowledge of the world by joining hands with Vedas and science.

The Gujarat government has given priority to the anti-encroachment Drive in 2025, in which illegal mosques, shrines and other structures have been demolished in areas like Somnath, Dwarka and Ahmedabad. The Drive has freed up government lands, which has given a boost to development works and helped strengthen national security. These steps are the result of the leadership style of PM Modi, the country's Home Minister Amit Shah and Gujarat's Home Minister Harsh Sanghvi, which has given priority to rule of law and public interest.

The anti-encroachment Drive in Gujarat in 2025 began with the Chandola Lake area of ​​Ahmedabad, where more than 12,000 illegal structures were demolished. Over 1,200 Bangladeshi and Rohingya immigrants were evicted from the area, which was also found to have links to al-Qaeda and drug cartels. The operation involved 74 JCBs, 200 trucks and 2,000 police personnel, which cleared 3.5 lakh square metres of land and recovered government land worth ₹200 crore. The operation was approved by the Gujarat High Court, which dismissed the encroachers’ pleas.

The operation was also extended to Dwarka and Somnath. Over 36 illegal structures, including mosques and shrines, were demolished in Dwarka’s Bet Dwarka and Pirotan Island. The area has been declared 100% encroachment-free, the drone footage of which was shared by Home Minister Harsh Sanghvi on social media. This action strengthened maritime security and prevented unauthorized activities like drugs and human trafficking. In Somnath, 9 mosques and shrines were also demolished, freeing up 102 acres of land and recovering government land worth ₹32 crore.

The success of this Drive is a result of PM Modi's leadership style, where he always gives priority to development and rule of law. With PM Modi's foresight and decisive approach, Gujarat has been established as a model state where problems like encroachment are dealt with with strict measures. The work style of the country's Home Minister Amit Shah is also commendable, as he is known for strengthening state and national security and internal order. Under his guidance, such Drives have gained momentum in Gujarat that prevent unauthorized entry and terrorist elements.

The work style of Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghvi is the backbone of this Drive. He said, ‘We will vacate government land and remove the illegal settlers.’ His decisive and transparent approach has made the Drive a success, which has seen coordination between the police and the administration. Under Sanghviji’s leadership, Gujarat has created encroachment-free areas that make land available for development projects.

This Drive has opened new doors of development in Gujarat. The release of lakes and beaches has protected the environment and increased national security. The trio of PM Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Sanghvi have established Gujarat as a safe and developed state, which is an inspiration to other states. It is clear from this style of work that following the law is the key to development.

When Union Home Minister of India Amit Shah paid an emotional tribute to the doctors at the 100th National Conference of the Indian Medical Association (IMA NATCON 2025) in Ahmedabad, his words revealed not only gratitude but also the deep understanding and compassion of a sensitive political leader. He spoke of having suffered from Covid three times himself and said that doctors in every department served patients without caring for their own lives. This shows the sensitivity of not a politician but a common man who understands the sacrifices of doctors from his own experience.

These words from a  Minister like Amit Shah inspires us that leadership is not just policies but an understanding from the heart. The sacrifice of the country's doctors and the sensitivity of the government together will make the dream of a developed India by 2047 a reality. Let us all salute this sacrifice and join in the service of humanity.

Gujarat has always played a pivotal role in India’s political history. The state has given the nation remarkable leaders whose partnerships have not only shaped Indian politics but also elevated the country’s pride on the global stage. Two such extraordinary duos are Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. Both pairs originating from the land of Gujarat have given new dimensions to India’s history through their vision dedication and leadership.

Gandhi-Sardar: Pillars of Independence  

The partnership of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel formed the foundation of India’s freedom struggle. Mahatma Gandhi revered as the Father of the Nation gave the country a new direction through the path of non-violence and satyagraha. Under his leadership movements like the Dandi Salt March Non-Cooperation Movement and Quit India Movement shook the foundations of British rule. Gandhi’s ideology and simplicity inspired millions of Indians to unite.

On the other hand Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel known as the ‘Iron Man’ of India gave practical shape to Gandhi’s ideals. Through movements like the Kheda Satyagraha and Bardoli Satyagraha Patel fought for farmers’ rights. His most significant achievement was the integration of 562 princely states into the Indian Union crafting the unified map of modern India. The combination of Gandhi’s idealistic vision and Sardar’s pragmatic policies was so powerful that it succeeded in driving out British rule and establishing India as a unified nation.

A remarkable aspect of this duo was how Gandhi and Patel complemented each other’s strengths. While Gandhi won the hearts of the people Sardar ensured national unity through practical policies and resolute decisions. Emerging from the soil of Gujarat these two leaders gave the nation a new future a source of immense pride for Gujaratis.

Modi-Shah: Architects of Modern India  

In the present era the duo of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah is writing a new chapter in Indian politics. Narendra Modi who led Gujarat as Chief Minister from 2001 to 2014 transformed the state into a model of development. After becoming India’s Prime Minister in 2014 he set a new direction for the nation’s progress with the slogan ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’ (Together with All Development for All). Initiatives like Digital India Make in India Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and Ayushman Bharat have helped India emerge as a modern nation. Modi’s global leadership style has secured India a strong position on the international stage.

Amit Shah often referred to as the Chanakya of political strategy has played a crucial role in translating Modi’s vision into reality. As Home Minister he has taken historic decisions to strengthen internal security combat terrorism and reinforce national unity. The revocation of Article 370 the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and steps toward a Uniform Civil Code reflect his farsighted policies. Shah’s strategies have established the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as a dominant force on India’s political landscape.

The strength of this duo lies in how Modi’s ability to connect with the masses complements Shah’s organizational prowess. While Modi captures the hearts of the people Shah leads the party’s strategies and electoral victories. This partnership has taken Gujarat’s development model to the national stage helping India emerge as a global power.

The Pride of Gujarat  

The duos of Gandhi-Sardar and Modi-Shah are the pride of Gujarat’s soil. Both pairs share the commonality of confronting the challenges of their times and giving the nation a new direction. Gandhi and Sardar laid the foundation for independence and unity while Modi and Shah have strengthened modern India’s development and security. These duos have showcased Gujarat’s culture diligence and vision to the world.

For Gujaratis it is a matter of pride that these leaders have not only illuminated Gujarat’s name nationally but also globally.

Their success inspires every Gujarati demonstrating that dedication integrity and vision can overcome any challenge. Today Gujarat holds a respected place worldwide due to the contributions of these leaders and this pride resonates in the hearts of Gujaratis everywhere.

The formation of the Indian delegation to explain India's stance on Operation Sindoor and terrorism and to expose Pakistan is in the limelight. This team also includes All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi. This is the same Owaisi, whom the opposition constantly surrounds as BJP's B team, but now that the Modi government has included him in the international delegation, the debate has heated up again.

Meanwhile, an old video clip is going viral on social media. In this clip, it can be seen that Hyderabad MP Owaisi asked Amit Shah, 'Whose team am I a part of?' Hearing this question, everyone present in the Lok Sabha laughs, then Amit Shah calmly replies, 'That's it, Owaisi ji, I want you to form your own team... Hey, they (opposition) are troubled, so I say you form your own team. Your issues are always different.'

It is not possible to give a clear date when Amit Shah said this in Parliament, but today after Owaisi's name was included in Team Modi, this clip is going viral once again. People are saying that what Amit Shah said has come true.

Owaisi has been raising a lot of voice against Pakistan since the Pahalgam terrorist attack and is constantly attacking it. On being included in the all-party delegation being sent by the central government to visit various countries, Owaisi said that as a member, this will be the essence of his message to the international community. Along with this, he said that the world will have to be shown about the killing of innocent people by terrorists nurtured by Pakistan for a long time.

So, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has categorically rejected the allegations of calling BJP's 'B team'. Owaisi said that BJP's return to power is not because of me, but because of the failure of the opposition. If I contest elections on only 5 seats and BJP's seats come down to 240, then how can I be held responsible?

Owaisi said that BJP has won the Hindu votes, what is my mistake in that? Owaisi also attacked the RSS and said, 'RSS's intention is to turn India into a religious state. They want to end pluralism. He also alleged that RSS supporters are behind the cases being filed in the court.

Now that the central government has included Owaisi in the delegation, the opposition's allegations have gained new strength. However, it can also be called a part of a parliamentary process in which MPs of different parties are sent on foreign trips. But the way this development matches Amit Shah's earlier comments, it has definitely become politically interesting.
