Early Times Report LUCKNOW, Mar 15: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath delivered a clear message against caste-based divisions from the historic land of Chittorgarh, Rajasthan. Quoting the famous lines of poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar: "Mool jaanana bada kathin hai nadiyon ka, veeron ka, Dhanush chhor kar aur gotra kya hota randheeron ka? Paate hain sammaan tapobal se bhootal par shoor, 'Jaati-jaati' ka shor machaate keval kaayar, kroor." Chief Minister said, "Those who have nothing constructive to do are committing the sin of breaking social unity through casteism. Caste-based politics has weakened the foundations of society and nation. According to him, divisive politics can once again push the country toward a path of subjugation and unity is essential to prevent that". CM Yogi Adityanath was addressing a gathering on Sunday at Inani City Center during the 'Jauhar Shraddhanjali Samaroh'. CM also felicitated individuals for their commendable work. On the occasion, he released a book written by former Punjab Governor V.P. Singh. CM Yogi asked, "Who are those people, trying to divide society in the name of caste and spread mistrust through rumors". He said these are the same people who once claimed that Shri Ram and Shri Krishna never existed. They opposed Shri Ram Temple movement and tried every possible effort to delay the verdict. According to him, these are the people eager to break Ram Setu and oppose the construction of Shri Ram Temple, creating an atmosphere of distrust and questioning constitutional institutions. Chief Minister said, "The transformation in Uttar Pradesh has taken place under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but the spirit behind it is the valor of Rajasthan and Chittorgarh. He recalled that his revered spiritual predecessor had once come from this land to Gorakhpur. He praised the bravery of warriors of Mewar, the sacrifice of heroic women through Jauhar and the devotion of Meerabai, saying that their stories continue to inspire the nation. He described Chittorgarh Fort as not just a structure of stones but a guardian of India's identity. |
