'Sanatana' eternal truth, opposition trying to do petty politics: Yogi Adityanath

Lucknow/IBNS: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said that 'parasites of power' cannot destroy Sanatana Dharma, which is eternal truth, and even the Mughal rulers like Babar and Aurangzeb could not succeed in their evil designs against it.

Hitting out at Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin and the I.N.D.I.A bloc for making a controversial statement against Sanatana Dharma at a cultural programme organised at Police Lines on the occasion of Shri Krishna Janmashtami, Yogi said even Ravana and Kansa could not harm Sanatan Dharma with their arrogance and might.

He said that pointing fingers at Sanatana Dharma amounts to making a malicious attempt to put humanity in trouble.

He described Sanatan Dharma as a source of energy like the Sun and said that only a fool can think of spitting at the Sun, for it will naturally come back to the face of the person that spits.

Taking a jibe at the opposition parties further, the CM said their future generations will live in utter shame because of their misdeeds. He emphasised that one must feel proud of India's tradition.

He said that all those who tried to destroy God were destroyed themselves.

"Sanatan was insulted 500 years ago. Today Ram temple is being built in Ayodhya. The opposition is trying to do petty politics, trying to create disruption in India's progress. But it won’t work," the CM said.

Yogi said, "In every era there have been attempts to falsify the truth. Didn't Ravana try to lie? Before that, didn't Hiranyakashyap try to insult God and Sanatan Dharma? Didn't Kansa challenge divine authority? But, they were all destroyed in their malicious attempts. Let’s not forget that Sanatan Dharma is the eternal truth, it can’t be harmed."

Congratulating the people of the state on the occasion of Shri Krishna Janmashtami, he said that Shri Krishna was born as the complete incarnation of Lord Vishnu to establish religion, truth and justice.

"For 5,000 years, the inspiration of Lord Shri Krishna has been continuously paving the way for the welfare of humanity in the entire world including India. Whenever atrocities and injustice took place in India, our divine incarnations guided the society in the form of a special beam of light," he said.
