We asked for only three places: CM in House. PTIIn his first remarks on the start of puja in the southern cellar of the Gyanvapi mosque complex within hours of it being allowed by the Varanasi district court on January 31, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said Wednesday that after watching the (January 22) celebrations in Ayodhya, “Nandi Baba did not wait” and “got the barricading removed at night”.
He said now even Lord Krishna is not ready to wait — alluding to the Krishna Janma-bhoomi-Shahi Idgah mosque dispute in Mathura — and referred to the claims at Ayodhya, Kashi and Mathura when he said “we asked for only three places”.
Speaking during the debate on the motion of thanks to the Governor’s address in the UP Assembly, the Chief Minister said that such has been the impact of “vote bank politics” that “for thousands of years, the majority community was forced to beg” for three places – Ayodhya, Mathura and Kashi.
He said 5,000 years ago, injustice was done to the Pandavas when Duryodhan refused to grant just five villages to Krishna, and made him a captive instead.
“Yahi to hua tha Ayodhya ke saath, yahi to hua Kashi ke saath aur yahi hua Mathura ke saath (The same thing happened with Ayodhya, Kashi and Mathura),” he said.
“Humne toh kewal teen jagah maangi, anya jagahon ke baare mein koi mudda nahi tha. Ayodhya ka utsav logon ne dekha toh Nandi Baba ne bhi kaha ki hum kaahe intezar karein. Unhone intezaar kare bagair ratri mein barricade tudva daale. Aur humare Krishna Kanhaiya kahan manne wale hain (We asked for only three places. In other places, there is no issue. After seeing the celebrations in Ayodhya, Nandi Baba said why should he wait and got the barricading felled that night itself. And our Krishna Kanhaiya is not going to wait),” he said.
The Treasury benches responded with chants of Jai Shri Ram, Har Har Mahadev and Radhe Radhe.
“These three… because these are special places. These are not regular places. God took incarnations here,” he said, adding that “stubbornness” mixed with “vote bank politics” led to the disputes.
He said that in India, public faith was being insulted and “bahusankhyak samaj” (majority community) was being forced to beg for three places, but what should have happened in independent India long ago is happening now.
Maintaining that “injustice” was done to Ayodhya, where instead of roads being developed its lanes had to see firing and barricading, he said the culture and faith of the country had been suppressed but that would no longer be accepted.
Targeting the SP for opposing the motion on the Ram temple consecration two days ago, Adityanath said that 36 lakh tourists had visited Ayodhya since the consecration ceremony last month, 6.5 crore had visited Kashi Vishwanath Dham last year, and another 6 crore had visited Mathura-Vrindavan.
