Shield youth from drugs: Yogi Adityanath

Urging the public to shield youth from drugs, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath said enemies from across the border were trying to trap young people in its grip.

Yogi was addressing a gathering during a religious function at Baba Palnath Ashram in Kablana village here on Sunday. Mahant Balak Nath, MLA from Tijara (Rajasthan) and head of Baba Mastnath Matth, Rohtak, presided.

“We have to protect our youth, the present generation, and society from all forms of drug addiction. Remember, our enemies aim to spread the drug trade in the country and are constantly making attempts to do so. We must ensure that we do not fall into this trap otherwise future generations will never forgive us,” he said.

From the stage, Yogi again raised the slogan, “Batoge toh katoga”. He said the enemies across the border were planning to attack in two ways: one through religious conversion, and the other through drugs. “Our enemy wants to break the country through religious conversion and the drug trade and destroy our younger generation. That is why we all need to remain vigilant,” he said.

Yogi appealed to people not to let themselves be divided by caste, language, or regionalism. “To protect the nation, we must safeguard Sanatan Dharma,” he said.
