India - Modi's regime - “In the recent past Naxalism has emerged as the single biggest threat to India’s internal security and has assumed serious and threatening propositions.”

On the internal security challenges, ACM Raha said that it was becoming increasingly difficult to separate the internal threats to security from the external ones. The Express quoted him as saying: “In the recent past Naxalism has emerged as the single biggest threat to India’s internal security and has assumed serious and threatening propositions.” Highlighting the IAF’s role in support of anti-Naxal operations, he said that IAF helicopters had flown 15,100 sorties since 2009 to transport 74,000 police personnel, 1,000 casualties and mortal remains and 1600 tons of load.
