Raipur: Answering to a question, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath said the word ‘secular’ is the ‘biggest lie’ told since independence that has caused damage to the country.
Adityanath on Monday was at a function organized by Dainik Jagran group in Raipur, where he further said: “distorting history was no less a crime than sedition.”
On being asked about communalism and secularism, Adityanath said: “I believe that the word secular is the biggest lie since Independence. Those that have given birth to this lie and those that use it should apologise to the people and this country.”
The UP CM further said that “If someone were to say that government has to be run by one way of prayer, that is not possible. In UP, I have to look at 22 crore people and I am answerable for their security and their feelings. But I am not sitting here to ruin one community either. You can be sect-neutral but not secular.”
The UP Chief Minister also slammed Congress for mistakes that caused terrorism, Naxalism and separatism in the country.
He called Narendra Modi government as “Ram Rajya”, and said PM Modi understands the pain of the people, unlike Congress.
