Utta꧅r Praওdesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has drawn a parallel between the demolition of the Ayodhya temple to the ongoing violence in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal and Bangladesh.
As per the BJP stalwart, the three incidents have the "same DNA". Speaking at the inauguration of the Ramayan Mela at Ram Katha Park in Ayodhya, the Chief Minister drew a connection to the Mughal Empire and said - "Reme꧅mber what Babur’s man did in Ayodhya 500 years ago💦? The same thing happened in Sambhal, and the same is happening in Bangladesh. The nature and DNA of all three is the same,"
Adding to his slogan of "batege toh katege", Adityanath stated that "the people who created divisions in our unity, their descendants are still here, and they conti♍nue to disrupt the society in the name of caste."
"Look at what the enemies in the neighbou🥃ring country are doing. Five hundred years♛ ago, a commander of Babur did something in Ayodhya. The DNA of all three actions (Ayodhya, Sambhal, and Bangladesh) is the same," he said.
“Do not remain under anꦜy delusion. Some forces are present here, and they are fully prepared to cut 🧸you and make you bleed," the UP CM added.
This is not the first time the Chief Minister has alleged "dividing forces" have a role to play in India. The BJP leader received major backlash for his slogan "batege toh katege" during the assemb༺ly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand.
Politicians from Maharashtra such as NCP leader Ajit Pawar and opposition leaders such as Malikarjun Kharge alleged that the UP CM was trying to incite communal t🍷ensions and create more religious divides with the slogan.
Talking about the communal tension in Bangladesh, Adityanath said ` sim🌌ilar elements are in 🐟play in India as well'.
In Sambhal, violence and unrest have taken over the UP town during a court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid, a 500-year old mosque. The survey followed a format seen in other mosque su🐬rveys in the country as many alleged t🎶hat the Shahi Jama Masjid was built after the demolition of a Hindu temple during the Mughal period.
Meanwhile in Bangladesh, a🌞trocities aga🏅inst Hindus as been on the rise since Sheikh Hasina's abrupt resignation. Additionally, a row erupted between Dhaka and Delhi escalated after the Bangladeshi Embassy in Agartala was vandalised by demonstrators who were protesting against the arrest of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das in Dhaka.
