Bahraich: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday stated that glorifying invaders who attacked India’s heritage and insulted its people is equivalent to treason. He emphasized that the "New India" will not tolerate such actions.
As per agency report, Adityanath made these remarks during a public gathering in Bahraich, amid ongoing controversies surrounding Mughal ruler Aurangzeb. He warned against celebrating figures who attempted to crush the country’s Sanatan culture, asserting that paying tribute to such invaders strengthens the roots of treason.
He asserted that those who insult India’s great ancestors while praising those who assaulted the nation’s civilization, disrespected its women, and attacked its faith will never be accepted in the New India. He further highlighted that when the world is recognizing the greatness of India’s Sanatan culture, every citizen has a duty to honor the country's great personalities rather than glorifying historical aggressors.
Adityanath's comments came while speaking about the recently concluded Prayagraj Mahakumbh 2025, which he described as the largest human gathering ever. He referenced Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech in Parliament, in which Modi praised the Uttar Pradesh government for successfully organizing the event.
The Chief Minister emphasized that no other country in the world has ever hosted such a grand event on this scale, reaffirming that India’s Sanatan culture stands as an inspiration for future generations.
