The Efforts Of The Modi Government Are Yielding Results As India Will Soon Be Completely Free From Left-Wing Extremism: Amit Shah

Speaking at the 59th foundation day parade of the Border Security Force in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah addressed the gathering on Friday. On this occasion, Shah emphasized that, ‘It is the result of the efforts of the Modi government that India will soon be completely free from left-wing extremism.’ The entire nation is aware that left-wing extremism has been a hindrance to India’s development for decades, but no government in independent India has resolved this issue. The menace of left-wing extremism has persisted and expanded over the years.

Since 2014, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, there has been a concerted effort to tackle left-wing extremism. After Amit Shah assumed the role of Union Home Minister in 2019, the Modi-Shah duo has achieved record success in countering left-wing extremism. The establishment of new camps by central paramilitary forces in affected areas and their deployment are priorities in Shah’s strategies. Due to the efforts of the Modi government in the last nine years, there has been a 52% reduction in incidents of violence and a 70% decrease in fatalities related to left-wing extremism.

In 2022 and 2023, Modi’s foresight and Shah’s precise strategies have led to significant successes against left-wing extremism. Priority is given to the establishment of new camps and deployment of central armed police forces in affected areas as part of Shah’s plans. The number of affected districts has reduced from 96 to 45, and police stations have decreased from 495 to 176 in the last nine years.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the adept guidance of Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah, for the first time in history, polling centers have been established in villages surrounded by jungles, and people have actively participated in voting. Shah’s relentless efforts in the direction of eliminating left-wing extremism and connecting the region with the mainstream development are evident in the record-breaking voter turnouts in remote areas, freeing Jharkhand completely from the grip of Naxalism.

The old fortresses of Naxalism in remote and challenging areas like the Boodha Pahad and Kharbanda in Jharkhand, which were stronghold regions for decades, are now entirely free from the control of Naxals. The hill where Naxalites used to issue their orders through Jan Adalats to the residents of the region is now home to an open school. The CRPF, BSF, and ITBP are prepared to make the final strike against lingering left-wing extremism. Today, in the twilight of left-wing extremism, the battle is at its culmination.

In conclusion, the claim of the Modi-Shah duo, committed to liberating the country from left-wing extremism, is proving to be true. The day is not far when the entire country will be free from left-wing extremism.

The show is curated by Varsha Karale

Pratibha Wagh’s Enchanting Canvases

An artist of any discipline first sees the idea manifest in his mind and then begins his expression of it. Mrs. Pratibha Wagh celebrates nature in her mind before giving it a form to be enjoyed by its beholders. Her paintings of nature are resplendent with the rich influences of Madhubani, Chitrakathi and Indian miniature paintings. The resultant style inherently demands a rather difficult merger of detailing and precision while the size of her canvas doesn’t allow her the liberty of being artistically vague, it does insist upon sharp precision of strokes that are at once bold and light. Mrs. Wagh manages this tightrope walk with consummate ease. Her paintings give you a distinctly joyous experience of a dreamlike state, and their old world. The message in her paintings is loud and clear. Unless man loves and respects  nature, he has no right to its beauty and benevolence.

Jyotsna Sonavane: A Journey Inward

Jyotsna Sonavane describes her artistic journey as an inward exploration for outward expressions. Her abstract language of lines and colors captures the evolving compositions that gain new meanings over time. Inspired by nature, Sonavane’s paintings mimic the organic beauty of stone, petrified wood, and flowing rainwater. The emotional depth of her work is conveyed through the movement of brushwork and layered colors, creating a rich history within each piece.

Rekha Bhivandikar: Exploring Memories Through Art

Rekha Bhivandikar, a contemporary artist, presents ‘Memories,’ an exhibition that reflects her deep admiration for memories. Having grown up in a small village, Wada, Bhivandikar’s journey as a commercial artist includes 26 group exhibitions throughout India. Her recent focus involves exploring the similarities and differences between Maharashtra Lok Kala-Warli and Bihar-Madhubani, creating a fusion of these traditional art forms.

Mita Vora: Passionate Tigers on Canvas

Mita Vora’s art is centered around the majestic tiger, symbolizing physical strength, vitality, and health. Through the use of ink and palette knife on canvas, Vora skillfully brings these powerful creatures to life. Her commendable and brilliant style involves a universal mix of raw and bold layers of colors, reflecting subtle values and positive attributes associated with the tiger.

Paneri Bhiva Punekar: Transcendence of Banaras

Paneri Bhiva Punekar’s series, ‘Transcendence of Banaras,’ is a thematic conceptualization of the religious sanctity, glory, and divine fervor associated with the holy city of Varanasi. Using poster colors on paper in her unique style, Punekar’s works artistically adorn various pieces with ethnic and exquisite hues, capturing the spirituality prevalent in the temples, shrines, and continuous chanting at the Ghats.

The ‘Maithili’ exhibition is a celebration of the divine energy inherent in women, transferred onto rich, vibrant canvases that aim to invoke the same energy in the viewers. The participating artists bring years of experience and hard work to this showcase, making it a must-visit for art enthusiasts and the general public alike.
