Former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Yadav had called the Maha Kumbh going on in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh useless. On this statement of Lalu Yadav, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has now hit back during the ongoing budget session in the UP Assembly. He said that Lalu Yadav finds the Maha Kumbh useless. If it is a crime to organize any event of Sanatan Dharma with grandeur? Is it a crime to promote faith by respecting it, then our government is committing this crime and will continue to do so. During this, he also targeted Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav. He said that Akhilesh Yadav was opposing the Maha Kumbh from the beginning. But he also secretly went and took a bath in the Kumbh.
Sanatan Dharma is the national religion of this country: CM Yogi
What is this? This is an irresponsible statement. The biggest event of Sanatan Dharma was questioned by SP, Congress, RJD and TMC leaders. Is it a crime to promote the faith of Sanatan Dharma? We believe that Sanatan Dharma is the national religion of this country. Its safety is the guarantee of human safety. Cricketer Mohammad Shami also took a bath in Maha Kumbh.
Lalu Yadav had called Kumbh useless
Let us tell you that RJD chief Lalu Yadav had recently called Kumbh ‘meaningless’ and ‘useless’. While Mallikarjun Kharge had said that thousands of people died in the Kumbh stampede. CM Yogi mentioned all these statements in the assembly. Apart from this, CM Yogi also mentioned Jaya Bachchan’s statement, in which she had said that the bodies of the people who died in the stampede have been thrown into the Ganges.
Mamta Banerjee had called Maha Kumbh Mrityu Kumbh
Amid the ongoing rush for Maha Kumbh, Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee has made a strange comment. Citing the recent stampede incidents, she termed Maha Kumbh as ‘Mrityu Kumbh’. She alleged that special facilities are being given to VVIPs in this religious event, while poor and ordinary devotees are deprived of these facilities.
Opposition’s statement is a tampering with Sanatan faith: CM Yogi
CM Yogi, while cornering the opposition parties, said that when baseless rants and false videos are shown against Sanatan Dharma, Maa Ganga, India’s faith, Maha Kumbh, then it is a tampering with the Sanatan faith of 56 crore people as well as India. This is not an event of any particular party or government, but of the society, the government is behind it. The government is there as a servant to cooperate and discharge responsibilities. It is our responsibility to discharge responsibilities as a servant. We will do this promptly, because we are aware of our responsibilities. We have a feeling of reverence for the Sanatan traditions of India and it is our responsibility to respect those faiths.
