Prime Minister Narendra Modi revived his ‘dimaagi naxal’ dig at the Opposition parties in his speech at Delhi University's Sree Ram College of Commerce which celebrated its centenary on Saturday.
He said that people who support such ideas were exposed after he mentioned them in his Independence Day speech last month from the Red Fort. “Jaise hi maine dimaagi naxal wali homepathy ki goli di, sare dimaagi naxal nikal nikal ke bahar aanay lage aur jo is bimari ko badhawa de rahe hain ab janta unka bhi asli rang dekh rahi hai,” he said in an indirect attack at his critics.

"Today's occasion is very historic for Shri Ram College of Commerce. It is equally important for the education sector of the country. Numerous generations that have been part of SRCC are gathered together here. I extend my heartiest congratulations to all of you for SRCC's centenary celebration,” he said.
Calling the alumni of SRCC the "OGs", PM Modi emphasised that the influence of the institution expands far beyond economics.
"The alumni of SRCC have also been very special. In your language, I would say the alumni here are the OGs. They have taken the name of SRCC across the world and made a mark for themselves in different fields," he said.
"Our Arun Jaitley studied here. And I can say that perhaps there was hardly a meeting with him where he did not share an incident from his SRCC days. Sometimes I would get tired because he would tell me the same incident again and again. Even today, Sanjeev Sanyal, who is part of my team, is an alumnus of SRCC. We have many other colleagues who studied here as well. And it is not that SRCC has produced people only from the world of economics. From artists to politicians, lawyers and judges, people from every field have emerged from here," he underlined.
