UP CM Adityanath demands respect for India and its culture

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath spoke at the Bithur Mahotsav on Sunday. He stated that people who "hate India and Indianness" have no place in the country. His comments were aimed at those who, in his view, have attacked India's culture and values. Adityanath emphasized the importance of respecting India's great leaders and freedom fighters. He argued that anyone who disrespects these figures cannot be a proper citizen of India. He also criticized those who idolize foreign invaders. He highlighted a recent statement from Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, who remarked that Indonesians share Indian DNA. Adityanath described this as an important insight for those in India who look up to foreign figures. Finally, he called for greater respect for iconic Indian heroes like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Maharana Pratap, and Guru Gobind Singh. Adityanath expressed hope that this message would inspire admiration for these great warriors and contribute to making India stronger.
