Amidst the second phase of voting in Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that the new India will work according to the Constitution and not according to Sharia law. He also said that the dream of “Gazwa-e-Hind” will never come true. In the second phase of polling to be held in seven phases in the state, voting is going on today in a total of 55 seats in nine districts.
He said, “I want to tell those who are dreaming of ghazwa-e-hind. This is new India. It is under the leadership of the world’s most popular leader Modi Ji. In this new India, development is for all but appeasement is for none. India will run as per the constitution and not shariyat. The dream of ghazwa-e-hind will never be realized.”
When asked about the hijab row, he said, “I firmly believe India runs as per the constitution and personal belief and rights of anyone cannot be imposed on the country. Can I ask all employees of UP to start wearing the bhagwa? The dress code has to be followed in the schools. One day they will ask for the same in the Police force of the Army. Will that work? There will be no discipline. Personal belief is one thing, but when we talk about an institution, we have to follow the rules and regulations. The country’s system will function according to the constitution.”
CM Yogi said the BJP government brought law against Triple Talaq to liberate the same daughters he was talking about. The government is working to provide justice and self-reliance for Muslim women. “When we say the country will function according to the constitution and not Shariyat, it is for the wellbeing of the same daughter.”
He said, “When I talked about 80-20, it was not about the religion, caste etc. I was saying 80 per cent of people would vote for BJP, and 20 would vote against BJP. Eighty per cent are those who are happy with the government programs. These are the people who like development. These are the people who like transparency. On the other hand, 20 per cent are those who have negative thinking. They support criminals. They will vote for the other side.”
