आज नई दिल्ली स्थित इंदिरा गांधी राष्ट्रीय कला केंद्र (IGNCA) में श्री तुहिन ए. सिन्हा जी की किताब “Naxal Terror Vanquished” के विमोचन कार्यक्रम में शामिल हुआ। यह पुस्तक नक्सलवाद के विरुद्ध देश की निर्णायक लड़ाई, सुरक्षा बलों के साहस और सरकार की प्रतिबद्धता को बखूबी समझाती है। प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी और केंद्रीय गृहमंत्री श्री @AmitShah जी की इच्छाशक्ति का ही यह परिणाम है कि दशकों से जिस दंश से हम परोक्ष और अपरोक्ष रूप से पीड़ित रहे, आज वह जड़ से नष्ट हो चुका है। पहले नक्सलवाद का हल नामुमकिन मान लिया गया था, अब उसके निशान तक मिटने को हैं। सिन्हा जी को इस प्रभावी और उपयोगी रचना के लिए बहुत बधाई। इस अवसर पर वरिष्ठ पत्रकार श्री @sudhirchaudhary जी का साथ विशेष रहा।
