Lineage and descendants of those who desecrated temples will be destroyed: Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday condemned the attacks on places of worship, including in Bangladesh, saying there is a conspiracy to make “hell on earth” by anyone who tries to desecrate Sanatan dharma’s religious places.

The CM was speaking at a ‘Katha’ programme of Peethadhishwar Sridharacharya Maharaj here.

“Look at what is happening in Bangladesh. Then what had happened earlier in Pakistan and Afghanistan? I want to ask who were those people who destroyed the Sanatan Dharma’s places of pride in the country and why did they do it?” the CM asked.

Adityanath was referring to the attack on Hindu religious sites in Bangladesh, calling it a conspiracy to “make hell on earth”.

“It was part of a conspiracy to make the whole earth a hell by carrying out these barbaric acts, whether it is in Ayodhya’s Ram janmabhoomi, Mathura’s Krishna janmabhoomi, or in Sambhal, the Harihar bhoomi...these temples got destroyed, desecrated or made impure. The lineage and descendants of those who desecrated these temples will be destroyed,” he added.

The CM reiterated that Sanatan Dharma is the only way to establish world peace.
