The invaders who destroyed Sanatan Dharma have ceased to exist: Yogi Adityanath
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that India has been continuously fighting against foreign invaders. Many invaders tried to damage the monasteries, temples and pilgrimage sites that were symbols of India’s faith, but they could not succeed. He said that today not even a trace of those who tried to destroy Sanatan Dharma and religious places is left. At the same time, the pilgrimage sites of India are once again re-established and standing in front of the world.
If we protect religion then religion will protect us
CM Yogi said that ‘Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah’ means that if we protect religion, religion will protect us. He appealed to the people that religion should not be misused for selfish ends. He said that the loss of a person can be compensated, but it is not possible to compensate the loss caused to religion and culture. Its impact also falls on the coming generations. Therefore everyone should work in the interest of the country and religion.
Re-consecration of Somnath temple and Operation Shakti were also mentioned.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that today has historical significance. He told that in 1026, Mahmud Ghaznavi had attacked the Somnath temple.

Referring to the Pokhran nuclear test, CM Yogi said that India had shown its strength to the world under Operation Shakti under the leadership of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. This power is not only a symbol of the country’s security but also of world welfare.
The history of Baghpat is linked to the Mahabharata period.
The Chief Minister said that the history of Baghpat is linked to the Mahabharata period. Baghpat was also included in the five villages which Lord Krishna had demanded from the Kauravas for the Pandavas.

This is the real protection of our heritage.
