Yogi Adityanath Warns Muslim Miscreants Attack Hindu Festivals in Uttar Pradesh

Lucknow | Dec 17, 2024:: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath issued a stern warning to lawbreakers, emphasizing that India will be governed by the principles of Lord Ram, Krishna and Buddha, not those of Babur and Aurangzeb. Addressing the recent Sambhal violence, Yogi Adityanath accused opposition parties of misleading the public by withholding facts.

The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath raised a poignant question, highlighting the disparity in how Hindu and Muslim processions are perceived and treated in India. He pointed out that whenever a Hindu process passes through a Muslim-populated area, problems begin. He questioned why there were no issues when a Muharram procession or any Muslim gathering passed through a Hindu locality or in front of a temple, yet problems arose when a Hindu procession passed near a mosque or through a Muslim-majority area amidst threat and resistance from the intolerant people.

“Can’t the saffron flag be raised on Indian soil? If a Muslim procession can pass through a Hindu locality and in front of a temple, why can’t a Hindu procession pass through a Muslim locality?” said CM Yogi Adityanath.

The Uttar Pradesh CM further said that it is the responsibility of the state government to provide security to 25 crore people. “Any kind of anarchy and stone pelting will be dealt with strictly. Anyone who tries to flout the law by taking the law into his own hands against the orders given by the honourable court will be dealt with strictly,” he said.

The CM also questioned the opposition’s silence on atrocities against Hindus. “Since 1947, 209 Hindus have been killed in Sambhal, yet not a single word has been spoken in support of the innocent victims. Those shedding crocodile tears have kept mum over the innocent Hindus who lost their lives,” Adityanath said.

Speaking on the issue of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogan, CM Adityanath said that it’s not provocative but a reflection of faith. “Saying ‘Jai Shri Ram’ is not a communal act….If I tell you tomorrow that we don’t like the slogan ‘Allah-u-Akbar,’ will you be okay with that?” asked the CM.

Yogi Adityanath justified the Sambhal violence by saying that the Police was doing its duty and warned the Muslim community to not cause chaos in UP.

Assuring everybody’s religious rights,  UP CM also warned the people who try to disrupt the Hindu festivals from communal angel. He also questioned why the idols of Hindu deities are found in the wells those were filled by the sands or rubbish for encroachment after changing their character.
