| Non-violence highest duty, but violence to have to be adopted against those who pose threat to security of nation, society: CM | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
LUCKNOW, May 30: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that when we are strong on the security front, the world too will extend friendship towards us. No one bows before the weak.
He said, “When we speak incompletely, it distorts the meaning, therefore we should learn to speak completely. India’s sage tradition inspires us with the saying, “Ahimsa Parmo Dharma, Dharma Hinsa Tathaiva Cha,” meaning non-violence should be the highest duty in normal life, but if someone poses a threat to the security of the nation and society, then violence will ultimately have to be adopted against them. This is our duty towards the enemies of the nation, and the Indian Armed Forces fulfil it with full strength.”
The Chief Minister was addressing military officers, personnel and the public on Saturday at the inauguration of the Naval Shaurya Vatika (second phase of the Naval Shaurya Museum), built over more than 2 acres at a cost of Rs 19 crore in the state capital. Earlier, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, along with the Chief Minister, inaugurated the Vatika. On this occasion, the presentation by the Naval Band captivated the audience.
The Chief Minister said, “When thinking is big and a person moves ahead with great goals, positive results emerge, which inspire the youth. Visitors coming to this Vatika will get information about the Indian Navy. They will also get an opportunity to know the kind of challenging and adverse conditions in which our soldiers work. This information will inspire youth to face challenges in life. The Navy’s vision reflects its grand thinking.”
Referring to the motto ‘Nabhah Sprisham Deeptam,’ the CM said, “To touch the heights of the sky, one must also think big. Great goals cannot be achieved with narrow thinking or limited emotions.”
CM Yogi said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has presented the vision of a developed India before the people of the country. He has called upon every Indian to join the Panch Pran.
We should have a sense of respect towards the armed forces and uniformed personnel. When Indian soldiers protect the borders while facing sub-zero temperatures, the scorching heat of deserts and the waves of the sea, then 140 crore Indians sleep peacefully.” |
