LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday asserted that Pakistan's days are numbered and terrorism will be the reason for its demise. He also said Sanatan Dharma is the foundation of India's identity, declaring that any affront to its dignity would never be tolerated.

Adityanath was in Ayodhya to inaugurate the newly constructed Hanuman Katha Mandapam at Hanuman Garhi temple.

Addressing the gathering, he issued a stern warning against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Citing the valour of Lord Hanuman, he said, "India never provokes, but if provoked, it does not spare."

"Pakistan is destroying itself by harbouring terrorism. Our armed forces have neutralised more than 124 terrorists...Terrorism will be its downfall, and its days are numbered," Yogi asserted.

"Pakistan holds no place in the spiritual realm. A nation without spiritual identity has a limited existence, its end is inevitable," the chief minister said.

He added Sanatan Dharma forms the core of India's identity and must be protected at all costs.

Striking a note of caution, he said, "The country must recognize its true allies and adversaries."
