Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made remarks about PoK and Sindh on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day. He called the occasion one of humanity’s darkest historical chapters. Moreover, Yogi claimed people divided a Sanatan nation for political power. He alleged Congress forcibly handed Hindu-majority Sindh to Pakistan supporters.
During a Lucknow programme, Yogi said leaders fragmented the Sanatan nation in 1947 for power. According to him, remembering that decision goes beyond reopening history’s pages. He claimed Pakistan supporters received territories they had not even demanded. Yogi said those areas included parts of Punjab and Bengal.
Furthermore, he argued that Sindh had a Hindu majority. Yet, according to his allegation, leaders forcibly transferred that province to Pakistan supporters.
Chief Minister Links 1947 Silence With Present-Day Politics
Yogi said the remembrance day encourages people to learn from history’s darkest chapters. He claimed people who remained silent during 1947 focused their attention on power. According to him, similar political behaviour continues today among those seeking authority at national cost.
The Chief Minister also referred to alleged atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh. He claimed certain political parties remained silent while Hindus faced killings there.
Yogi then targeted opposition parties over their response to Bangladesh. He alleged those groups feared losing vote-bank support if they reacted. According to him, such parties valued electoral calculations over killings involving Dalit Hindus.
The Chief Minister again described Partition Horrors Remembrance Day as linked with 1947’s devastating tragedy. He called that episode another extremely dark chapter in global human history.
Yogi repeated his allegation that political power motivated the division of a Sanatan nation. Furthermore, he said remembering Partition should help people learn from those historical events.
Yogi Recalls Displacement, Killings and Questions India’s Past Enslavement
While recalling Partition, Yogi said crores of Hindus had to leave their own motherland and birthplace. He also claimed mass killings took lakhs of Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs and Jains.
According to Yogi, victims received no hearing at any level during that period. He accused such political forces of spreading disorder and anarchy.
The Chief Minister then raised broader questions about India’s historical enslavement. He asked why the country became enslaved and what caused that loss of freedom.
Yogi argued that India lacked nothing during that period. He further claimed no nation matched its strength or prosperity across the world.
Through these remarks, Yogi connected Partition remembrance with his criticism of past political decisions. Moreover, he linked those arguments with present-day opposition politics and Bangladesh-related concerns.
