Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath said that he would revive all temples found during the excavation in Sambhal.
While talking to the news agency, CM Yogi Adityanath said, “54 pilgrimage sites have been identified in Sambhal. However many there are, we will find them and tell the world to come and see what had happened in Sambhal. Sambhal is the truth…Islam says that if you build any place of worship by breaking a Hindu temple or a Hindu house, it is not accepted by the Almighty.”
“The significant sites of Sanatan Hindu Dharma are all symbols of our inheritance,” he reiterated.
On being asked about mosques covered with tarpaulin in Sambhal, the Uttar Pradesh chief minister said, If you are playing with colours, it is possible that it can be put on someone, but it does not spoil one’s identity. There are processions during Muharram. Doesn’t the shadow of their flag fall on any Hindu house or near a Hindu temple? Does it make the house impure? There are strict instructions to not put colours on anyone who does not agree to it… Don’t they wear coloured clothes?…You wear coloured clothes, but if colour is put on you, you create problems, why the double-standards?…Hug each other. Many Muslims have played Holi with us.”
