With Ram temple already inbuilt Ayodhya after years of authorized battle following the demolition of Babri Masjid, the chief minister stated that the Krishna Janmabhoomi website in Mathura and the Kashi Vishwanath temple advanced in Varanasi are the 2 different disputed lands that Hindus have been claiming.
Ayodhya is revered because the birthplace of Lord Rama, Mathura because the birthplace of Lord Krishna, and Kashi (Varanasi) because the abode of Lord Shiva and Parvati.
Quoting from Ramdhari Singh Dinkar’s ‘Rashmirathi’, Yogi Aditynath stated, “At that time, Krishna had gone to the Kauravas and said, then give us just five villages, keep all the land you have. We will happily eat there.”
“Krishna had asked for five villages that time. Krishna had gone for an agreement. He asked for justice, even if it was half. But here, the society and its faith, for hundreds of years, was talking about three, just three,” Yogi Adityanath stated, referring to the spots at Ayodhya, Mathura and Varanasi.
When requested for his response on Adityanath’s assertion in meeting, Akhilesh Yadav stated,”The CM is bounded with the Constitution. He should not make any such statement which is not as per the oath he took as the CM.”
Taking a swipe on the ‘Mahabharata’ analogy drawn by CM Yogi, Yadav remarked, “It is not yet clear who are the Kauravas and who are the Pandavas. Kauravas were more in number. BJP says it is the largest party in the world. We read in Mahabharata that those who had the biggest army were Kauravas. The victory would be of those who have the God on their side.”
Yadav reiterated the importance of constitutional rights and criticised alleged makes an attempt by the federal government to undermine them.
“All of us are bound by the Constitution… The government does trickery… Can we snatch anyone’s rights?” he questioned.
Yadav expressed hope that the judiciary would uphold justice and defend residents’ rights within the face of any governmental overreach.
“The Constitution gives us the right to present ourselves. I hope that the court will do justice in the coming times,” he stated.
