'Jinnah's Soul Remains In Bangladesh': Yogi Adityanath Slams Violence Against Hindus
In August, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made a strong statement aimed at promoting Hindu unity, using the phrase "Batoge to katoge" (If you divide, you will be destroyed). His comment was made in the context of the oppression of Hindus in Bangladesh. Yogi's remarks were directed at Hindustanis who were divided along caste lines, emphasizing the need for unity among Hindus.
This statement resonated strongly during the election period, and its impact was visible in the political landscape. Now, Yogi has once again turned his attention to Bangladesh, becoming more aggressive in his stance. Previously, he had taken a swipe at Mughal ruler Babur, and now he has invoked the name of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, in his rhetoric.
This shift in focus suggests that Yogi is intent on reinforcing his message about the threat posed by external forces to the unity and safety of Hindus. The repeated references to Bangladesh in Yogi's speeches are not merely about addressing the situation in that country but also serve as a broader call for Hindu solidarity.
