GORAKHPUR:

Despite attempts to spread misinformation, the unity displayed during Mahakumbh and Holi demonstrated the enduring strength of Sanatan traditions, Adityanath said. He was speaking at a Holi Milan programme at Digvijaya Nath auditorium at the Gorakhnath temple on late Friday evening.

Mentioning historical challenges, he remarked that India's faith had been attacked by invaders, leading to centuries of subjugation that affected the mindset of many.

He dismissed the notion that Sanatan Dharma is divided by caste, sect, or region, emphasising that Holi celebrations across the country transcended such barriers.

The chief minister also highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's gesture of presenting Gangajal from the Kumbh to the President of Mauritius, ensuring that the sanctity of Sanatan traditions reached followers worldwide.
