AYODHYA: The national president of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the youth arm of BJP, Tejasvi Surya, cautioned against the Talibanisation of India during his maiden visit to Ayodhya on Thursday. “World is witness to the trampling of minority rights in Afghanistan. This too can happen here, if we are not vigilant,” he said.
Raising the Hindutva pitch to a crescendo after offering prayers at Ramjanmabhoomi and Hanumangarhi, the Bengaluru South MP called on Hindus to unite against satanic forces trying to lay siege to the country, alluding to the epic war of Mahabharata. He credited PM Narendra Modi for the construction of the Ram temple. “Modi Ji has fulfilled his oath to the people on building the temple at Ramjanmabhoomi. Today, Ayodhya is liberated,” he said.
“I come from Karnataka, the land of Bajrangbali Hanuman and I have got the opportunity to serve Lord Ram in Uttar Pradesh. Hindus have to be strong to defeat satanic forces, which are uniting against PM Modi, UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath and BJP. Lord Ram chose us to eliminate these satanic forces. Karnataka has its own relationship with UP. Many youths from UP work in my parliamentary constituency and I work for them,” he told reporters.
Lauding Yogi Adityanath for the makeover of UP, he said, “Yogiji's work is mentioned in every newspaper in Karnataka. Today, people like Mukhtar Ansari and Azam Khan are behind bars. Development is making giant strides in Uttar Pradesh.”
The BJYM president, who was given a rousing welcome by party activists and leaders, performed aarti on the Saryu banks. Later, he tweeted — “Countless generations of our ancestors sacrificed their lives to reclaim our civilisational right. We are a lucky generation which sees culmination of a 500-year struggle against Islamic imperialism.”
