Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Saturday that divisions on the basis of caste, sect or religion will become cause of total destruction for us like what’s seen in Bangladesh today.
Addressing an event at Magh Mela in Prayagraj, the CM said, “No one speaks on incidents there (Bangladesh). Shops of those running contracts in the name of secularism wield power to break Hindu society and Sanatan Dharma, but on Bangladesh incidents, Fevicol and tape seem stuck on their mouths. No candle march even on Bangladesh incidents. This is a warning for us too.”
The CM warned that those dividing society can never be well-wishers of people. “When in power, these people couldn’t think beyond their families. They will give many slogans again, but when opportunity comes, they will do the same as before. “We must not allow repetition of their actions. The double-engine government always stands to strengthen the Sanatan faith. Never let dividers weaken us. If we all advance with this resolve, the future belongs to Sanatan Dharma. Just as flag waves on Ram Mandir, Sanatan flag will wave worldwide, and then no one will dare to kill the weak and Dalit Hindus in Bangladesh,” Adityanath added.
Saints devise ways to unite society, he claimed.
“Ayodhya’s grand Ram Mandir construction is a result of the revered saints’ unity. After the 1952 first general elections, the country saw several prime ministers. All contributed to development, but Ayodhya’s core soul deserved respect and Ram Lalla reinstallation and this sentiment was concretised by PM Narendra Modi,” he claimed.
