Yogi Adityanath Slams Opposition Over Impeachment Moves, Defends Truth and UCC
Truth Under Fire: Yogi Adityanath Defends Judge Facing Impeachment
Mumbai: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a scathing attack on the Opposition Saturday, accusing them of attempting to silence those who speak the truth. His remarks came in response to impeachment notices filed against Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and allahabad High Court Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav.
Speaking at the World Hindu economic Forum 2024, Adityanath alleged that the Opposition resorts to impeachment threats against anyone who dares to voice opinions they disagree with.
“Whoever speaks the truth, these people will pressurize him with impeachment (motions), and still they talk about the Constitution. Look at their double standards,” Adityanath declared.
The Chief Minister specifically highlighted Justice Yadav’s call for a Uniform Civil Code, a stance that has drawn ire from some quarters.”An Allahabad High Court judge said there should be a Uniform Civil Code,and the world over the feelings of the majority community are respected,” Adityanath stated. “What was a person’s crime if he voices these opinions? Shouldn’t there be a Uniform Civil Code in the country?”
adityanath accused the Congress of hypocrisy, alleging they seek to “strangulate the Constitution and manage the system of the country.”
he defended Vice president Dhankhar, stating that he is simply fulfilling his duties as the presiding officer of the Rajya Sabha.
“The Opposition is worried as to how a farmer’s son has reached this position,” Adityanath said, suggesting that Dhankhar’s humble origins are a source of discomfort for his political opponents.
The Chief Minister went on to criticize those who, he claims, seek to suppress India’s cultural heritage.
“Those who spurn India’s legacy should be exposed,” Adityanath asserted, alleging that the Opposition denies the existence of Lord Ram.
He contrasted Prime Minister modi’s respect for India’s traditions with what he described as the destructive actions of past rulers.
“You have PM Modi showering flowers on workers who built the Ram Temple in Ayodhya for their hard work, and there will also be rulers who chopped the hands of workers who built the Taj Mahal,” Adityanath said.
Adityanath concluded by emphasizing the importance of remembering India’s past while striving for economic progress. He highlighted Uttar Pradesh’s economic growth, stating that the state is on track to become a trillion-dollar economy.
