TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said there is no place for riots in Uttar Pradesh, stressing that the Ram Navami celebrations coinciding with Ramzan went off without any incident of violence — not even an altercation or “tu-tu, main-main”.
His remark at an event came against the backdrop of recent cases of communal violence in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and Gujarat. Adityanath said the situation during Ram Navami reflected the “new thinking of development” in UP. He said Ram Navami-related processions were taken out at 800 places in the state that has a population of 25 crore.It is also the month of Ramzan and “roza-iftar” programmes are also being held, he added.
“Nowhere has there been any ‘tu-tu, main-main’ (altercation), leave alone rioting.””There is no place for ‘danga-phasad’ (rioting),” he said, adding that the state also has no room for anarchy, goodaism and rumour-mongering. “Uttar Pradesh has proved this on the occasion of Ram Navami, the pious ‘jayanti’ of ‘Maryada Purshottam Shri Ram’,” he said.
