Mistakes due to which India had to bear shackles of slavery should not be repeated again, says chief minister in Ayodhya

- HT Correspondent

LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said those who desecrated religious places do not exist today. He also asserted that mistakes due to which India had to bear the shackles of slavery and "our religious places" were insulted, should not be repeated again.

Addressing a gathering of seers at Asharfi Bhawan in Ayodhya, Adityanath stated that humanity could only be protected by respecting Sanatan Dharma.

Calling upon Indians to work together for the protection and preservation of the Sanatan Dharma, he said Sanatan Dharma is the "rashtriya dharma" of the country and Bharat will remain Bharat till 'Sanatan' is safe.

"This religion talks about the welfare of all," the chief minister.

"Those who desecrated holy places like Kashi Vishwanath temple in Kashi, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya, Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi in Mathura, Harihar land of Kalki avatar in Sambhal, holy temple of Goddess Saraswati, the presiding deity of knowledge in Bhoj, they do not exist today."
