Yogi Adityanath on ‘Pranam India’: Calls for generosity on disputed sites

 Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has appealed to Muslim leaders to "show generosity and hand over the disputed sites in Varanasi, Mathura and Sambhal to Hindus".

In the 'Pranam India' show at the Maha Kumbh Mela site in Prayagraj, when Yogi Adityanath was asked why his government rejected the Muslim leaders' offer to give Waqf land for the Maha Kumbh, Yogi said, if generosity has to be shown, then a little Show it in Kashi, show it in Mathura and show it in Sambhal. There is no need to show generosity in Prayagraj. Prayagraj has taken whatever it had to take."

Yogi said, "For Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat, there is a need to show generosity there, like Gyanvapi should be returned to Sanatan Dharma. The site of Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi has been with the faith of Sanatan Dharma followers for thousands of years, who is the next incarnation of Shri Hari Vishnu , it is going to happen in this very Sambhal. There is a need to show generosity there. I would like to tell the Muslim leaders to think keeping in mind the future of the present and future generations. The problem will not be solved by mere stubbornness. If they really If they show generosity and a big heart, then Hindu society will give them respect. Otherwise, they will always face problems."

Notably, issues such as Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi, Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi in Mathura and Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal, which is said to have been built after demolishing the Shri Hari Vishnu temple, are currently pending in various courts.

When Yogi was asked why the ASI survey of the mosque in Sambhal was done in a hurry, he said, "There is no delay in auspicious works here. Once the auspicious time has passed, there is no need to check the Muhurta again and again. There is no need for it. Everything moves forward. I think, the country and the world are watching what happened in Sambhal. Ancient stepwells are being found, wells are being found, ancient forts are also being found there. Along with our Puranas, this has been mentioned in Ain-e-Akbari as well. Mir Baqi demolished the temple of Lord Vishnu in 1526 and built a mosque there, which is now called Jama Masjid by the people there today. Abul Fazal wrote this hundreds of years ago, it was not written by any Hindu. How can these people deny the events of that time which he has mentioned. It is possible that they do not believe in the Puranas, but at least Just look at Ain-e-Akbari. Believe that. If I quote this from some Hindu text, they might have a problem, but this quote is being given from their source only. In the coming times, many Something is going to be exposed there."

Yogi said, "Even the Muslims in Sambhal whose ancestors had converted to Islam during that period have kept records of their gotras and they want the temple to be rebuilt. The problem is with those leaders." Those who consider Muslims as their vote bank are worried."

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, "We are people who believe that 'Yato Dharma, Tato Jai', wherever there is Sanatan Dharma, Sanatan Dharma will definitely win. And I think we will take it with democratic values, India's We will take it under the constitutional system, so there is a need to show generosity there."

On the quality of Ganga water at Sangam in Prayagraj, CM Yogi claimed that the BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) level at Sangam is less than five, while BOD between 15 and 25 is considered good for bathing and drinking. He said , "The credit goes to Prime Minister Modi's Namami Gange project, which has made the water of Ganga drinkable."

To Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav's allegation that the number of pilgrims at the Kumbh Mela is being exaggerated, Yogi Adityanath replied, "Pratyakshayam Kim Pramanam? We have used artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence to measure the correct number without any external help." Latest technology used. In the first two days, 1.25 to 1.5 crore people visited the Maha Kumbh and currently 30-40 lakh pilgrims are taking the holy dip every day."

To the Opposition's allegation that over Rs 7,500 crore was spent on the Maha Kumbh, the chief minister replied: "Tourism boosts economic growth. We have to build roads, railway stations, airports, tents and other amenities to handle the huge rush of pilgrims." All other facilities had to be arranged. About 20 lakh people are taking holy bath at the ghats every day. By spending Rs 7500 crore, we hope to boost the economy of Uttar Pradesh by Rs 2 lakh crore.

Yogi Adityanath compared the current Maha Kumbh to the Kumbh Mela organised by Samajwadi Party minister Azam Khan in 2013. He said, "At that time 41 people had lost their lives, the Prime Minister of Mauritius was so saddened to see the dirt in the Ganga water that He prayed from a distance with folded hands, refused to take a dip and left. Samajwadi Party should keep its 'success story' in its home."

On the question of banning the entry of Muslims in Maha Kumbh, Yogi said, "Any person coming to Maha Kumbh is never asked about his caste or community. Anyone can come. But if someone disrespects Indian faith, then it is against the caste or community." If he tries to do so, we will adopt a 'tit for tat' policy."

On the allegation that Yogi was supporting Manu Smriti, the Chief Minister replied: "From North to South and East to West, India is one. Dress, language, food habits and lifestyle may differ. Sanatan Dharma is safe If it is there then India is safe. If India is safe then Sanatan Dharma is safe.

Rajat Sharma's show 'Pranam India' with Yogi Adityanath will be telecast tonight at 10 pm on India TV.
