LUCKNOW/BAHRAICH: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday described those who glorify foreign invaders as 'traitors' and said that honouring an invader means strengthening the foundation of treason, something independent India cannot accept.

Inaugurating the main and residential buildings of Mihipurwa (Motipur) tehsil in Bahraich, the chief minister stated, "Today, as the world praises India's Sanatan culture and traditions, it becomes the duty of every citizen to show respect and reverence for the great men of India. In such times, no invader should be glorified. To do so is to lay the foundation of treason, which independent India cannot tolerate."He emphasized that New India will not accept those who insult India's great men, glorify invaders who trampled Sanatan culture, dishonoured daughters, and attacked faith.

The tehsil complex, built over 2,138 square metres, has been constructed at a cost of Rs 8.45 crore.He also announced the approval of a new bypass project aimed at enhancing connectivity and spurring development in the district.
