Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal says “I am a ‘dimagi naxal’,” responding to a comment attributed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about so-called “dimagi naxals.” The term is presented as a warning that such actors have allegedly entrenched themselves within the system and pose a threat by influencing policies.
Multiple outlets report Sibal’s swipe at Modi in connection with this remark. They describe Sibal adopting the label as a form of rebuttal rather than denying that it was used. The coverage also situates the exchange within a broader political context where both sides make allegations about influence over governance and institutions.
While the reports focus on the controversy over the phrase itself and Sibal’s response, they do not indicate the existence of new evidence or official action directly tied to the statement. The dispute centers on the meaning, implications, and political messaging of the “dimagi naxal” terminology rather than on a specific case or investigation.
