Babri Masjid won't be rebuilt till eternity: Yogi reiterates Ram Temple pledge
India Today
Recalling the BJP's stand on Ayodhya, Yogi Adityanath asked, "We had said we would come for Ram Lalla and build the temple at the same place… is there any doubt?"
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said that the Babri structure would not be rebuilt even till the Day of Judgment and asserted that the dreams of those who imagine otherwise would never be fulfilled.
Addressing a public meeting in Barabanki, the Chief Minister reiterated the government’s commitment to delivering on its promises, saying it speaks only to the extent of its work. Recalling the BJP’s stand on Ayodhya, he said, “We had said we would come for Ram Lalla and build the temple at the same place is there any doubt?”
CM Yogi further remarked that those waiting for the Day of Judgment would rot away, as such a day would never arrive. Emphasising respect for India’s heritage, glorious traditions and Sanatan Dharma, he said the saffron flag would always continue to enhance the nation’s pride. Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoisting the saffron flag at the Shri Ram temple in Ayodhya, he described it as a symbol of Sanatan.
Targeting what he termed opportunists, the Chief Minister said some people remember Lord Ram only during times of crisis and forget Him otherwise, adding that Lord Ram has also forgotten such people. He said there was no place left for those who fired bullets at Ram devotees and obstructed Ram’s cause.
Issuing a stern message on law and order, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said people must learn to live by the rules, warning that those who follow the law will benefit, while those who do not are headed towards hell. He added that the dreams of those who believe they can reach heaven by breaking the law would never come true.
The Chief Minister said India and Sanatan are complementary and cannot be separated. Alleging that both the country and Sanatan are facing attacks from within and outside, he called for vigilance and alertness, claiming that while some people are hatching conspiracies, others are falling victim to them, and some are selling themselves to work for such agendas.
