Amit Shah Questions Justice Reddy’s Salwa Judum Ruling, Blames it for Extended Naxalism

Home Minister Amit Shah has strongly criticized Justice (Retd.) Sudarshan Reddy, the opposition INDIA bloc’s Vice Presidential nominee, for his past ruling on Salwa Judum. Shah argues that the judgment contributed significantly to the prolonged Naxalite insurgency in India.

Shah Links Salwa Judum Ruling to Naxalite Insurgency’s Duration

Shah contends that the Salwa Judum ruling hampered efforts to combat Naxalism effectively, leading to a longer period of conflict and instability.

Political Implications of Shah’s Criticism

This criticism comes amidst the heated political climate surrounding the Vice Presidential election and highlights the ongoing debate over the Salwa Judum, a controversial anti-insurgency militia. The debate brings forth human rights concerns and the complexities of combating extremism. Shah’s statements are likely to further polarize opinions on both the Salwa Judum and Justice Reddy’s candidacy.
