What If Hindus Told Muslims To Stop Saying Allahu Akbar? Yogi Questions
In today's state assembly, Uttar Pradesh chief minister yogi Adityanath questioned the opposition's position on religious expression and vehemently supported the "Jai Shri Ram" shout. He questioned opposition leaders in a scathing speech on how they would react if Hindus asked Muslims to refrain from screaming "Allahu Akbar."
"Ye kehna ki uttejak naare lagaye ja rahe the.. yeh uttejak naara nahi hai. jai Shri ram hamari sabha ka naara hai, hamari aastha ka prateek hai. Kal main aapse kahunga ki ye 'Allahu Akbar' ka jo slogan hai ye hume achcha nahi lagta.. aapko hum roke toh aapko achcha lagega?" he said.
Amid disruptions from Opposition regarding chants of 'Allahu Akbar', yogi retorted, "Mujhe iski avshyakta hi nahi.. Mujhe 'Allahu Akbar' ki avashyakta hi nahi hai. Main jai Shri ram, Har Har Mahadev aur Radhe Radhe bolkar zindagi kaat sakta hu!..meri toh virasat itni lambi chaudi pracheen hai, main usko hi leke chala jaun.. main Radhe Radhe ke sambodhan se hi apna poora jeevan kaat sakta hoon.. mujhe kisi aur slogan ki zarurat hi nahi hai. Lekin kal koi apse kahega, koi Hindu kahega, ki sir hume aapse pareshani hai.. kya aapko achcha lagega?"
The truth won't be hidden for long
During a contentious discussion over the violence in Sambhal, Adityanath made these comments and said that the opposition was ignoring attacks on Hindus. "No one can hide the sun, the moon, and the truth for long," he stated. Citing data that demonstrates a sharp decline in communal rioting in Uttar Pradesh since 2017, the chief minister further denied assertions made by opposition leaders on an increase in violence. Since 2017, Uttar Pradesh has not had what you properly refer to as riots.
Since 2017, Uttar Pradesh has not had what you properly refer to as riots. Prior to 2017, 192 individuals lost their lives in 815 community disturbances. There were 616 violent events and 120 fatalities between 2007 and 2011, he claimed."If you go to West Uttar Pradesh, you say 'Ram-Ram' in general addresses," Adityanath added, refuting the idea that the "Jai Shri Ram" chant was sectarian. What caused jai Shri ram to become communal, then? 'Ram-Ram' is what we say when we wake up and gather here. You can tell what someone is trying to say when they say "Jai Shri Ram." This is not intended to cause agitation.
