Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday launched a fierce attack on Pakistan, warning that terrorism will destroy Pakistan one day.
The Chief Minister condemned Pakistan and asserted that “it is a new India which does not provoke but firmly deals with when provoked’’.
“This is new India. Naya Bharat kisi ko chhedta nahi hai, lekin koi chhedta hai toh usko chhodta bhi nahi hai. Hanuman ji had also said the same, when he appeared before Ravana. Ravana asked him that why he killed his son? Hanuman ji said that he did not kill him, but only retaliated and he died as he lacked strength,” the CM said drawing parallels with modern security situations.
“Pakistan holds no place in the spiritual realm. A nation without spiritual identity has a limited existence — its end is inevitable. We draw inspiration from Lord Hanuman — we never provoke, but if provoked, we never back down. Pakistan is on the verge of its end; terrorism will be the reason for its end,’’ said the CM.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was in Ayodhya on Friday. He inaugurated the newly-constructed Sri Hanuman Katha Mandapam at Hanumangarhi. Addressing a gathering on the occasion, the Chief Minister emphasised Ayodhya’s spiritual, cultural and infrastructural transformation and reaffirmed his commitment to protection and global promotion of Sanatan Dharma.
CM Yogi described Hanumangarhi as a confluence of devotion, power, intelligence, and strategy, and referred to it as an unwavering stronghold of Sanatan Dharma. He paid tributes to Baba Abhayram Das Ji Maharaj, crediting his vision and the dedication of Hanumangarhi’s saints and Nagas for bringing the grand Mandapam to life. “Hanumangarhi is not just a temple; it is a symbol of warrior spirit dedicated to protecting Sanatan Dharma,” he said.
Yogi hailed the Mandapam as a future spiritual hub that will propagate Sanatan values through discourses and storytelling. He lauded the Nagas of Hanumangarhi as warriors of a time when the Akharas stood strong against foreign invasions and religious persecution. Reflecting on the transformation of Ayodhya, the Chief Minister criticised previous governments for neglecting the holy city, plunging it into disrepair and chaos. “Before 2017, Ayodhya suffered from broken roads, power shortages, and neglected ghats,” he noted.
In contrast, he said, the ‘double engine’ government post-2017 has ushered in rapid development — Ayodhya is now connected by four-lane highways, an extensive railway network, and the newly-built Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, putting the city on the global map.
CM Yogi said that Sanatan Dharma forms the core of India’s identity and must be protected at all costs. He warned against those who oppose Sanatan values, stating, “The country must recognise its true allies and adversaries.” In a pointed remark on regional geopolitics, he added, “Pakistan is nearing its end — terrorism will be its downfall.”
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath described the construction of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple as a landmark achievement in the history of Sanatan Dharma. He stated that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the 500-year-long darkness surrounding the Ram Janmabhoomi issue was finally dispelled. The double-engine government accomplished what was once impossible under previous regimes swiftly and decisively.
Emphasising that Sanatan Dharma is the foundation of India’s identity and existence, the Chief Minister declared that any affront to its dignity would never be tolerated. He urged the saints and Nagas of Hanumangarhi to preserve their warrior spirit and remain vigilant in defending Sanatan Dharma.
He recalled how Hanuman ji conveyed this very message in the court of Ravana. “Pakistan is destroying itself by harbouring terrorism. Our armed forces have neutralised more than 124 terrorists. This is Pakistan’s doing — it shelters those who threaten peace. Terrorism will be its downfall, and its days are numbered,” Yogi asserted.
Paying heartfelt tribute to Lieutenant Shashank Tiwari, a martyr from Ayodhya, the Chief Minister said the State Government honours its bravehearts by providing `50 lakh in compensation, giving one family member a government job, and constructing a memorial in the martyr’s name.
Positioning Ayodhya as the global epicentre of Sanatan Dharma, CM Yogi said that mentioning Ayodhya inspires reverence among devotees worldwide. “There isn’t a follower of Sanatan Dharma — be it in America, Canada, Europe, Australia, or New Zealand — who doesn’t feel drawn to Ayodhya when they visit India,” he said.
He further underlined the sacred tradition of visiting Hanumangarhi before proceeding to Shri Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya.
“Just as in Kashi, devotees first visit Kaal Bhairav before having darshan of Baba Vishwanath, in Ayodhya one first pays respects at Hanumangarhi before seeking blessings from Shri Ram. This is the enduring expression of Sanatan Dharma’s faith and tradition,” he concluded.
