**Pilot Calls for Transparent, Apolitical Approach to Anti-Naxal Operations**

*Raipur, Chhattisgarh – June 23, 2025* – Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot today urged for a transparent and apolitical approach to anti-Naxal operations in Chhattisgarh and other affected states. Speaking to reporters at Swami Vivekananda Airport in Raipur, Pilot, who is also the Congress in-charge for Chhattisgarh, emphasized the need for unity in tackling the Naxalite issue.

“The Congress has always been against violence and extremists,” Pilot stated. “Whatever effective action is to be taken, it should be taken in a transparent manner, and it should not be politicized. This is a matter of internal security. No one should do politics over this.”

Pilot’s remarks come in response to Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent statement that anti-Naxal operations would continue during the rainy season. Pilot emphasized that any action should be carefully considered, accountable, and ultimately benefit the public. He also cautioned against empty rhetoric, stressing the importance of effective action on the ground.

Beyond the anti-Naxal issue, Pilot outlined his plans to strengthen the Congress organization in Chhattisgarh. “Mallikarjun Kharge ji and Rahul Gandhi ji have dedicated the year 2025 for the organization. Therefore, we want to strengthen the organization from booth to State level,” he explained. Meetings are scheduled to assess the progress of various party wings and cells, and to chart a roadmap for the future.

Furthermore, Pilot announced a meeting with Congress MLAs scheduled for tonight to strategize for the upcoming monsoon session of the State Assembly, where the party aims to hold the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party accountable.
