Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday triggered a fresh row by saying that Jammu and Kashmir was peaceful till it was governed by a Hindu ruler. Addressing the Sikh Samagam of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Adityanath said that those belonging to the Hindu community started witnessing a downfall after the Hindu rule was gone.
“Jab tak Kashmir mein Hindu raja tha Hindu aur Sikh surakshit the. Jab Hindu raja ka patan hua, Hinduon ka bhi patan hona shuru hogaya (Till there was a Hindu ruler in Kashmir, both Hindus and Sikhs were safe. When the Hindu ruler was gone, Hindus also witnessed a downfall),” said the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister.
He further said, “Aaj wahan ki sthiti kya hai? Koi apne ko surakshit bol sakta hai? Nahi. Humein itihas se seekhna chahiye (What is the current situation there? Can people say that they are safe? No. We should learn from the history).” |
