LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday referred to Pakistan as a “cancer to humanity,” describing it as a festering wound for the world that requires a “surgical intervention” to be cured. CM Yogi made these remarks while addressing a gathering during the consecration ceremony of the Siddheshwari Temple in Tripura. The event was inaugurated by CM Yogi alongside his Tripura counterpart, Dr Manik Saha.In his speech, the Uttar Pradesh CM referred to the partition of India in 1947 along religious lines, stating that the public should be aware of those responsible for dividing the country. He remarked, “We should not forget how the then social order had blunted the British plot to divide Bengal in 1905. Similarly, if the Congress leadership, along with Jogendra Nath Mandal, had thwarted the conspiracy of the Muslim League at the time of independence, Pakistan would never have come into being.”Adityanath asserted that resolving the issue of Pakistan requires decisive action, adding, “The process has already begun. People of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) wish to join India, and Balochistan is also seeking independence from Pakistan.”The Chief Minister highlighted the role of saints in protecting the nation and religion, calling them “representatives of divine power on earth.” He emphasised the importance of unity among saints from various sects, saying, “When such a significant number of saints get united for any cause, success is inevitable.” He stressed that collective effort is necessary to prevent destructive forces from gaining a foothold and urged the nation to eliminate ‘anti-religion’ powers to avoid a situation similar to that of Bangladesh from arising in India.“Both the nation and religion must be safeguarded,” CM Yogi said, adding that if religion is protected, it will also protect its followers. Referring to the ‘Sudarshan Chakra’ of Lord Krishna, he stated, “Only the ‘Murali’ (flute) will not serve the purpose. The ‘Sudarshan Chakra’ must also be used to protect religion when required.” He also drew attention to the plight of Hindus in neighbouring Bangladesh.CM Yogi commended the strength and unity of Tripura’s rulers, noting how they kept the state independent and secure by protecting it from heretics and foreign invaders. He remarked, “Those leaders who demonstrate strength and make their enemies aware of it will always remain safe.
