Opposition parties speaking in Pak language: Yogi

Wednesday, 22 January 2020 | PNS | Lucknow

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath accused the Congress, Samajwadi Party and other opposition parties of speaking in the language and idiom of Pakistan.

“Opposition parties were behind the violence and protest demonstrations to disturb peace aimed at destroying the social fabric of the nation. The government cannot remain mute spectator of attempts by opposition parties to create anarchy,” Yogi asserted.

Addressing a gathering in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah in a pro-CAA rally in Lucknow on Tuesday, Yogi drew analogy from the epic Mahabharata and said: “When Draupadi was disrobed, she had asked Bhishm Pitamah as to who was responsible for the sin. Then Vidur had said all those who were silent on the ghastly act were responsible. Congress is committing the same crime as Dushashan in Mahabharata. But we cannot remain silent to crimes committed in the name of opposing CAA. We cannot be silent to the disrobing of Bharat Mata. We will go meet people everywhere and expose the nefarious games of Congress and other parties,” Yogi said.

“The CAA should have been brought 70 years ago soon after Independence, but the Congress had no such ideas as its sole intention was to use the issue for narrow political ends and votebank politics. But our PM and Home Minister had the courage to bring this law to give citizenship to persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan,” he said.

Yogi further alleged that opposition parties were distributing money to organise dharnas against CAA in the state but people of the country were supporting the PM on this issue and any conspiracy against ‘Ek Bharat-Shresht Bharat’ would be dealt with sternly.

The CM also appealed to the people to be aware of the opposition’s conspiracy in misleading a particular community by making them feel that the CAA was against them.

“The CAA is only to give citizenship to minority refugees from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan, and not to snatch anyone’s citizenship,” he clarified. Large number of refugees, including Kashmiri Pandits, were present at the rally as were UP BJP chief Swatantra Dev Singh, and Deputy CMs Keshav Prasad Maurya & Dinesh Sharma.
