| Fake social media accounts being used to spark caste tensions, says CM Yogi Adityanath | | |  Early Times Report
VARANASI, July 18: During his two-day visit to Varanasi, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the National Seminar on Tribal Pride Birsa Munda at Vasant Mahila Mahavidyalaya on Friday. He hailed tribal communities as the foundation of Indian civilization and warned against rising attempts to incite caste conflict through fake social media accounts, calling for immediate action to stop such divisive agendas.
In his address, the Chief Minister emphasized that tribal society has always been the bedrock of India's Sanatan tradition. He highlighted its enduring role in defending the nation and safeguarding cultural values across eras. Referring to the Ramayana, he said, "When Lord Rama was in exile and Mother Sita was abducted, it was the tribal community that stood by him, despite the absence of Ayodhya's army. Similarly, Maharana Pratap reorganised his army in the forests of the Aravalli Range with the support of tribal groups and resisted Akbar. Chhatrapati Shivaji, too, relied on the Vanvasi (forest dwellers) society to lay the foundation of the Hindavi Swarajya."
The Chief Minister hailed Birsa Munda as a key figure of India's national awakening, asserting that tribal communities have consistently played a vital role in protecting India's spiritual and cultural legacy. "While we often associate the struggle for independence with recent history, the tribal society has been fighting for Sanatan Dharma through every age."
Taking a firm stance against divisive forces, the Chief Minister condemned attempts to fuel caste and communal tensions via fake social media identities. Recalling a specific incident, he said, "A few years ago, there was a case of arson. I had remarked then that such an act likely didn't belong to any particular community. The investigation later confirmed that the person involved was wearing a saffron scarf but was shouting 'Ya Allah'. These deceptive individuals must be exposed and excluded from society if we are to protect national unity."
