Bahraich (UP), Mar 20 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday termed people glorifying foreign invaders as 'traitors' and said that honouring an invader means strengthening the foundation of treason, something independent India cannot accept.
While inaugurating the main and residential buildings of Tehsil Mihipurwa (Motipur) in Bahraich, the CM said, "Today, as the world praises India's Sanatan culture and traditions, it becomes the duty of every citizen to show respect and reverence for the great men of India. In such times, no invader should be glorified. To do so is to lay the foundation of treason, which independent India cannot tolerate."
He said that New India will not accept those who insult its great men, glorify invaders who trampled Sanatan culture, dishonoured daughters and attacked faith. The tehsil complex, built over 2,138 square meters, has been constructed at a cost of Rs 845.19 lakh.
