Early Times Report
Ayodhya, June 19: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized the Samajwadi Party and Congress over the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra issue. He said, “Those who denied the existence of Shri Ram and ordered lathi charges and firing on Ram Bhakts are now preaching to others. They are making a malicious attempt to insult Ayodhya.” The Chief Minister added, after information regarding Ayodhya came to light through newspapers, the government constituted an SIT investigation at the request of the Trust. The SIT would separate truth from falsehood and establish complete facts without any doubt. He appealed that until the SIT report is submitted, no statements should be made that hurt the sentiments of Ram Bhakts. If anyone possesses documentary evidence, it should be submitted to the SIT. The CM made a humble appeal to Ram Bhakts saying, “Shri Ram taught the values of dignity and restraint, and therefore everyone should maintain decorum. Our ancestors struggled for 500 years while maintaining dignity for the birthplace of Bhagwan Shri Ram, and people should wait another 15 days. If anyone is guilty, it is certain that no matter who they are, they will not be spared.” CM was addressing a public gathering on Friday after inaugurating and laying foundation stones for 126 development projects worth more than Rs 378 crore, including a Government Ayurvedic College and Hospital in the Rudauli Assembly constituency. He also asked MLA Ramchandra Yadav to submit proposals for further development of Maa Kamakhya Dham. Appreciating the enthusiasm of Ayodhya residents despite the intense heat, he expressed gratitude to them. The Chief Minister added by saying, “People should not be misled by those trying to defame Ayodhya and insult the Ram Janmabhoomi. Such individuals never wanted Ayodhya to receive respect because they themselves lacked the capability to contribute anything.” He said that those who failed to provide electricity to Ayodhya and kept it confined to narrow lanes are now spreading misinformation and making malicious attempts to insult Ayodhya, the foremost among the seven sacred cities. He informed, those who fired bullets at Ram Bhakts, questioned the existence of Shri Ram, deployed lawyers in court to obstruct the construction of the Ram Mandir, insulted Ram Bhakts and offered Fatiha at the graves of mafias should stop preaching. He said that no statements should be made until the SIT report is submitted, as such remarks influence the investigation. After the investigation is completed, any party may present its views before the SIT, but attempts to assassinate character and defame Ayodhya should cease. |
