[00:00:00] these clothes going? is going to be that in the organization. on the SIR, but when the Congress there is infighting has happened in the UP and the Election because On one hand, the Congress Congress, especially Commission... This is actually changed the UP president. this infighting party is on the streets,
[00:00:07] Burari Ground, and CBT
[00:00:30] he gave this slogan, where is that slogan today,
[00:00:33] when 11 girls were sexually
[00:00:37] abused, their MP was
[00:00:41] accused under the POCSO Act, and
[00:00:44] after an internal committee found him guilty,
[00:00:48] JNU dismissed him, and
[00:00:51] even after that, till today, no statement
[00:00:56] working with the government has come from Rahul Gandhi against that MP.
[00:01:00] And no explanation was sought from him,
[00:01:04] and the same situation
[00:01:06] is with Priyanka Gandhi.
[00:01:08] So, many questions are being
[00:01:11] At every stage, along raised about the silence of the Congress by the Bharatiya Janata Party,
[00:01:14] and pictures have also emerged from various places. This is the protest
[00:01:18] of the BJP Mahila Morcha, where you can see the first picture
[00:01:21] from Delhi, the capital of the country. The second picture is from Bengaluru,
[00:01:26] gained a lot of benefit, the third is from Punjab, the fourth is from Jaipur,
[00:01:29] the fifth is from Mumbai, and the sixth is from Bhopal.
[00:01:32] So, this is the uproar of the BJP Mahila Morcha from various places,
[00:01:36] where questions are constantly being raised against the Congress.
[00:01:39] Serious allegations of sexual abuse against a Congress MP,
[00:01:43] regarding which Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi have remained silent
[00:01:47] till now. No reaction has come forward yet.
[00:01:50] Regarding this, the Bharatiya Janata
[00:01:53] Party is seen making a lot of noise
[00:01:57] at this time.
[00:01:59] So, it can be said directly that politics is in full swing
[00:02:03] in the capital of the country, Delhi. On one hand, the Congress
[00:02:07] is continuously seen marching in the state and demanding
[00:02:10] the resignation of the CEC. On the other hand, the Mahila
[00:02:14] Morcha of the Bharatiya Janata Party is also seen protesting against the Congress.
[00:02:18] Our eyes will remain on every news, but with this, for now, News Punch,
[00:02:22] please allow me and our entire
[00:02:23] team. Namaste.
[00:02:30] on time, understanding
[00:02:50] children's education,
[00:03:17] There was a time when the sound of bullets
[00:03:20] would make the area tremble in the forests
[00:03:23] of Chhattisgarh.
[00:03:30] Be it Abujhmad of Bastar, the dense forests of Sukma,
[00:03:33] Bijapur, Dantewada, or
[00:03:37] once associated with Naxalite the dense forests located on the border of Chhattisgarh
[00:03:41] and Telangana, the Karea Gottalo Hills surrounded by difficult
[00:03:45] hills, as soon as these areas were mentioned, only
[00:03:48] one word came to mind,
[00:03:50] the impenetrable fortress of Naxals.
[00:03:55] For decades, these forests were shadowed by guns and gunpowder.
[00:03:59] Innocent lives were lost in Naxal violence, and security
[00:04:02] forces personnel were
[00:04:03] martyred.
[00:04:10] Due to the atmosphere of violence and fear, people had
[00:04:13] to migrate from their villages. Naturally, development was
[00:04:17] affected. Whether it was building roads, schools,
[00:04:20] and hospitals, or providing government services
[00:04:24] to villages, every step
[00:04:26] was full of challenges.
[00:04:37] But after 2014, the situation began
[00:04:40] to change.
[00:04:44] Security operations were intensified, and work to provide
[00:04:47] roads and connectivity started
[00:04:49] rapidly. Government schemes reached
[00:04:53] the local people, and a path for rehabilitation
[00:04:57] was prepared for those
[00:05:00] work, income, who left weapons and returned to the mainstream. And this changing picture was also
[00:05:05] Centers were opened. For reflected in the statistics. Once, 126 districts
[00:05:08] of the country were Naxal
[00:05:10] taken regarding the protest affected. In April 2018, this number decreased.
[00:06:12] Then, these hands held weapons, today they hold machines and
[00:06:16] a piece of wood, which is now
[00:06:18] gaining a new identity through
[00:06:21] wood art. This piece of wood
[00:06:25] is taking shape in their hands, but it is not just
[00:06:28] wood being carved, but a new
[00:06:31] life is also taking shape.
[00:06:34] Violence was once their identity, today they are building
[00:06:38] the path to their future. These pictures are from Kanker
[00:07:12] district of Chhattisgarh. After staying in the cotton
[00:07:15] fields, I was 18 years old. I used
[00:07:18] to carry a gun, which I surrendered to the government
[00:07:22] after joining the mainstream. Now I am
[00:07:26] in rehabilitation. After staying in the rehabilitation center,
[00:07:30] I am learning sculpture.
[00:07:32] I am learning tailoring.
[00:07:36] I learned electrical work
[00:07:39] and also learned driving.
[00:07:43] I worked in the organization for 15
[00:07:46] years. In October 2025, we were rehabilitated.
[00:07:50] After that, after coming to Kanker district
[00:07:53] for rehabilitation, we are now learning
[00:07:56] wood carving. Since November,
[00:07:59] we have learned some things, but we are
[00:08:03] not perfect yet. We are still learning
[00:08:06] to make nameplates and some other
[00:08:10] pictures. We joined
[00:08:13] the organization on August 9th.
[00:08:16] From there, I worked
[00:08:20] in the organization till 2025. From there, I will
[00:08:24] join the mainstream. Now, after coming here,
[00:08:28] we have made some things.
[00:08:31] Like wood carving,
[00:08:35] we have made some idols
[00:08:38] of gods. We have made
[00:08:41] some things.
[00:08:47] In Mulla Camp, someone is learning wood carving,
[00:08:50] while in other areas of Bastar, someone is learning to operate
[00:08:54] machines, someone is learning to cook, and someone
[00:08:57] is finding employment through tailoring and knitting.
[00:09:01] So, after giving up weapons, the question was not
[00:09:05] just what not to do,
[00:09:06] the question was what to do now?
[00:09:11] The answer to this question is appearing in different
[00:09:15] ways in different areas of Bastar. In Narayanpur,
[00:09:18] one such picture is seen in a welding center,
[00:09:21] where hands that once wielded guns are now operating
[00:09:24] welding machines. The same hands that once held
[00:09:27] weapons are now joining iron to create a new
[00:09:31] picture of their future. Here, former Naxals are being
[00:09:35] trained in skills to connect them with employment opportunities.
[00:09:39] Here,
[00:09:44] welding is not just about joining two pieces of iron,
[00:09:48] but it is also teaching the philosophy of life,
[00:09:52] patience, caution, and responsibility.
[00:09:54] The sparks of welding that are seen on camera
[00:09:58] are not just the sound of a machine running,
[00:10:01] behind them is the effort to learn, the hope
[00:10:05] of finding work, and the effort to return
[00:10:08] to a life where there is daily
[00:10:13] and normal days with family.
[00:10:16] Now, after surrendering here, I am
[00:10:19] undergoing training in rehabilitation.
[00:10:22] The course is for arc welding machine. My
[00:10:26] life has changed. Now I am learning very well.
[00:10:30] I am trying to learn more and after learning,
[00:10:33] I can go to the village and do more and also
[00:10:37] tell others. I am trying with this
[00:10:40] thought. For 10 years I lived in the jungle
[00:10:44] and then I got very troubled. So
[00:10:47] I surrendered and am staying here. After surrendering,
[00:10:51] I am now doing training here.
[00:10:56] I was in the jungle from
[00:11:00] 2012 to 2018 as a Naxalite.
[00:11:03] Then from 2018
[00:11:06] to 2025,
[00:11:09] I went home and did farming. Then on
[00:11:13] April 19, 2025, I surrendered
[00:11:16] to the government. I have joined. Now I am
[00:11:21] for a new life. I am doing arc
[00:11:25] welding now.
[00:11:28] I will open a shop at home after
[00:11:31] learning. Then I will
[00:11:35] also do welding.
[00:11:38] Here,
[00:11:41] not just goods are being prepared, but another thing
[00:11:44] is being prepared, and that is trust. Trust
[00:11:48] in their work, trust in their earnings,
[00:11:52] and trust that no matter what the past
[00:11:56] was, there is a way forward. But
[00:11:59] this path is not limited to the welding center.
[00:12:02] In Narayanpur itself, another such picture is seen,
[00:12:06] where another path of employment has been prepared for
[00:12:10] the former Naxals who have surrendered. This is Maitri
[00:12:13] Cafe. Here are the same people
[00:12:17] who embraced government schemes, abandoned the path of Naxalism,
[00:12:21] and decided to return to the mainstream. Looking
[00:12:25] at their kitchen, no one can believe that
[00:12:28] these hands once perpetrated violence. Hands working
[00:12:31] in the kitchen, people preparing orders, employees
[00:12:35] delivering food to tables,
[00:12:37] amidst all this, one thing is clearly visible, that
[00:12:40] the people who were once away from society are now
[00:12:43] standing among society and working with
[00:12:46] people. Here, work does not just
[00:12:50] mean completing a day's duty. It means reaching
[00:12:55] their responsibility, working with others, talking
[00:12:58] to customers, and improving their work
[00:13:02] every day. That is, it is also becoming a habit
[00:13:17] of a normal working life. Now, let's talk about Bijapur.
[00:13:20] The women who were once armed and a symbol of fear,
[00:13:23] now they are seen in a changed avatar. Former Naxalite
[00:13:27] women who were once associated with Naxalite organizations are now
[00:13:31] making clothes with sewing machines and presenting a picture
[00:13:33] of self-reliant India.
[00:13:38] In the garment center of Bijapur, about 130 former
[00:13:42] Naxalite women are doing sewing and embroidery work.
[00:13:46] Cutting, stitching, embroidery, and then
[00:13:49] finishing the prepared clothes. Although the work
[00:13:52] progresses slowly, it is bringing stability to the lives
[00:13:56] of these women.
[00:13:57] The women who were
[00:14:02] organizations, the same women are now sitting together
[00:14:05] and working, learning from each other, and
[00:14:09] enhancing their skills. Every garment produced
[00:14:13] in the garment center is not just a product,
[00:14:16] but a hope for a new life. The scope of their
[00:14:20] work is no longer limited to the local market,
[00:14:24] but their clothes have
[00:14:55] reached internationally. The hands that once
[00:14:59] held an AK-47, now hold a sewing machine.
[00:15:03] The hands that once went with the Naxalites
[00:15:06] carrying an AK-47, are now making clothes.
[00:15:10] I went in 2009 and came back in 2016.
[00:15:14] After coming back, I did a tailoring course.
[00:15:17] When the company opened, I came here and am
[00:15:20] working now. I get 7500 rupees per month.
[00:15:24] Please tell me what you used to carry in the jungle,
[00:15:28] and what do you have now?
[00:15:30] I used to roam around with a gun. The clothes
[00:15:34] you are making, where are
[00:15:38] They are going abroad. Who all are there
[00:15:41] in your family? My family is happy.
[00:15:45] What changes have come in your life compared
[00:15:48] to before? Yes, there
[00:15:50] has been a change.
[00:15:53] The story of employment in Bastar is not limited
[00:15:56] to one place. In Kondagaon, a different picture of
[00:16:00] it is seen. Here, Dokra artifacts are made from clay, wax,
[00:16:04] and metal.
[00:16:38] Designs are made from wax, a frame is made
[00:16:41] from clay, and then metal gives
[00:16:45] it the final shape.
[00:16:48] with hard work, patience is also required. Today,
[00:16:52] the importance of this art is not just because
[00:16:55] it is the identity of Bastar, for the people associated
[00:16:59] with it, it is also
[00:17:00] a path to work, income, and progress.
[00:17:04] That is, the change in Bastar is not just that a gun
[00:17:08] machine has come. The change is also that hands
[00:17:11] get such work that their identity is not from
[00:17:15] their past, but from their skill.
[00:17:19] One, the more time they give, the more income they
[00:17:23] earn. There is no limit to it. We don't have
[00:17:26] any fixed working hours. They also work at home,
[00:17:30] and besides their farming, they have extra time.
[00:17:33] Some people also work full-time in this, and
[00:17:37] some people work part-time.
[00:18:08] where once was the stronghold of Naxalism, Abujh Mag,
[00:18:11] where the influence of Naxalites was so much that talking
[00:18:15] about schools was meaningless, is the result of the initiative
[00:18:19] of the state and central government that today schools are
[00:18:35] open and there is laughter of children in these schools.
[00:18:38] The biggest change that has come in the lives
[00:18:42] of former Naxals today is due to Prime Minister
[00:18:45] Modi's firm resolve, which not only made India
[00:18:49] Naxal-free, but also connected the youth and women who left
[00:19:05] the path of Naxalism
[00:19:37] in 2014, in the same
[00:19:41] Naxal affected areas, in the same areas, due to being
[00:19:44] Naxal free, the
[00:19:47] tricolor of development, trust, and
[00:19:50] effort is fluttering. This
[00:19:52] change is not just behind
[00:19:56] security operations, but also the work done
[00:20:00] on the ground. Roads were built, mobile
[00:20:04] connectivity reached, and government services were expanded
[00:20:07] to those areas, where reaching was once a big
[00:20:11] challenge. Between April 2015 and March 2026,
[00:20:14] 1804 bank branches,
[00:20:17] 1321 ATMs, and 6025 post
[00:20:19] offices were established in Naxal affected areas.
[00:20:23] If we talk about road connectivity, under special
[00:20:26] programs related to Naxal affected areas, 15189 kilometers of roads
[00:20:30] were built, and for mobile connectivity,
[00:20:33] 9497 towers were installed. For skill
[00:20:37] development, 47 ITIs and 49 Skill Development
[00:20:43] better education, 179 Eklavya Model Residential
[00:20:47] Schools were also started. And for necessary infrastructure
[00:20:50] in these areas, under Special Central Assistance, about
[00:20:54] 4289 crore 20 lakh rupees have
[00:20:57] been released to the states since 2017. This change
[00:21:01] is a picture of changing the land where Naxalism
[00:21:04] once dominated. But the other part of the story
[00:21:08] is about those who themselves decided to leave Naxalism.
[00:21:11] The real picture of any system is seen not on
[00:21:14] paper, but on the ground.
[00:21:18] I am currently present in the Wasin area of Man
[00:21:22] and what kind of picture has changed in this area
[00:21:26] after March 31, 2026, please see this picture.
[00:21:29] This picture is of that Bastar, where people
[00:21:33] had to struggle to come and go, had to face
[00:21:37] difficulties in going from one place to another,
[00:21:41] but now this bridge has been completed. Now people
[00:21:44] will not have to struggle. To understand how this
[00:21:48] story of change has changed correctly,
[00:21:51] there are local people who live here. We will
[00:21:55] talk to them and try to understand what benefits
[00:21:59] the construction of this culvert will bring to the people
[00:22:02] here and what is your name, Janter?
[00:22:06] Where are you from? Keshar. Please tell
[00:22:10] me what benefit has been gained from the construction
[00:22:13] of this culvert? We have
[00:22:16] sir. That is, it has become very convenient for
[00:22:20] coming and going. Earlier, it was a pit, sir. Now that the culvert
[00:22:24] has been built, it has become very convenient for us
[00:22:28] to go to the hospital and other places. When
[00:22:31] Naxalites were living here, we were facing
[00:22:35] a lot of difficulties. They were not letting
[00:22:37] us work or do anything. Killing someone, cutting
[00:22:41] someone. That's why we were troubled. Now
[00:22:45] that the camp has come, the camp has also moved
[00:22:49] forward, so we are fine now.
[00:22:55] What does a person need most after giving up
[00:22:59] weapons? A home where they can live
[00:23:02] peacefully with their family and a source of income
[00:23:06] to run their daily life. Because leaving the jungle
[00:23:10] life is not just about giving up weapons,
[00:23:13] after that, the real challenge of running
[00:23:16] a home begins. Keeping this need in mind,
[00:23:20] the government has made arrangements for housing
[00:23:23] for affected families and surrendered Naxals.
[00:23:27] Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, 15,000
[00:23:31] houses have been sanctioned. But life does not run
[00:23:34] just by building a house. Ration is needed in the house,
[00:23:40] and big daily expenses.
[00:23:43] That is why, for those who surrender, a stipend
[00:23:47] of 1000 rupees per month for 36 months is being
[00:23:51] given during training in the rehabilitation system. Along with
[00:23:54] this, there is a provision to give immediate financial
[00:23:58] assistance of 25,000 to 5 lakh rupees to those
[00:24:01] who surrender. That is,
[00:24:02] the effort is not just
[00:24:09] to manage today, but also to improve tomorrow.
[00:24:12] And this picture of a strengthening tomorrow is clearly visible
[00:24:16] in different areas of Bastar today. The hands that
[00:24:20] once held weapons, today have skill in them.
[00:24:23] Those who once had the path of jungle and violence in front
[00:24:27] of them, today those hands are working, running
[00:24:31] homes, and creating a new picture of their future.
[00:24:34] This journey from weapons
[00:25:09] to skill is not just a change, it is
[00:25:12] a story of a new life. When the country asks,
[00:25:16] one has to answer. At 5 PM, the bell
[00:25:19] of questions rings, and that Panchayat is held
[00:25:22] where issues are not postponed, and no answer remains
[00:25:26] incomplete. If you felt so bad about the question,
[00:25:29] I will ask it in another way. I will ask it
[00:25:33] in another way. Here
[00:25:47] arguments do not echo, but truth echoes. I,
[00:25:51] Reema Parashar, bring the truth of the country
[00:25:54] before you. A big decision has been
[00:26:00] and dharna sites in Delhi.
[00:26:02] Delhi Police has removed Jantar Mantar from the list of protest
[00:26:06] sites. Now Ramlila Maidan,
[00:26:10] Ground in East Delhi have been designated as new
[00:26:13] sites for protests.
[00:26:17] This information has been given in the standing order
[00:26:21] issued by the Delhi Police Commissioner. Guidelines
[00:26:24] and SOPs for organizing protests at these three
[00:26:28] places will be issued separately.
[00:26:33] In the case of corruption charges related to OSD
[00:26:36] against Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the Supreme
[00:26:38] Court has refused to stay
[00:26:43] the FIR. In this case, giving an interim order,
[00:26:47] the court said that no punitive action should
[00:26:50] be taken in relation to the CBI FIR to be
[00:26:54] registered in this matter. Now, further hearing
[00:26:58] and the next order of the court will be watched.
[00:27:01] The BJP Mahila Morcha has started the Nari Shakti
[00:27:04] Hunkar movement. The BJP has accused the Congress
[00:27:08] and Rahul Gandhi of protecting the accused over
[00:27:12] the allegations of sexual harassment against Congress
[00:27:15] MP Vimol Akoijam. On this issue, BJP Mahila Morcha workers are protesting
[00:27:19] from Delhi to Bengaluru.
[00:27:24] Protesters demanded the immediate arrest and suspension
[00:27:27] of the MP from Parliament. In Bengaluru, many protesters
[00:27:31] trying to march towards the Karnataka Pradesh Congress
[00:27:34] Committee (KPCC) office were detained by the police.
[00:27:38] In Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath
[00:27:41] has transferred the agricultural investment grant amount
[00:27:45] to provide relief to farmers affected by natural disasters.
[00:27:49] The Chief Minister said that an amount of about
