UP CM Yogi Adityanath launches 'Bharat Shaurya Tiranga Yatra' in Lucknow, says Pak will be ‘consumed’ by terrorism

Yogi said, 'Pakistan is hollow from within. The day is not far when this terrorism, deeply embedded in its system, will consume the nation itself.'

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said that there would come a time when Pakistan would cease to exist as a nation if it continued to support terrorism.

‘’Pakistan has been patronising and nurturing terrorism for many decades... A day will come when Pakistan itself will be consumed by terrorism,’’ Adityanath said while launching a ‘Tiranga Shaurya Yatra’ to honour the Indian armed forces for their bravery during the ‘Operation Sindoor’, across the state.

He said that ‘Operation Sindoor’ was launched when Pakistan, despite being given all the proof about its involvement in the Pahalgam killing, continued to extend its support to the terrorists.

‘’The world saw the bravery of the Indian armed forces... the world also saw that Pakistani leaders and officers of its armed forces took part in the funeral procession of the terrorists killed in the Indian strike,’’ the CM said.

Adityanath said that the ‘Tiranga Shaurya Yatra’ was being undertaken across the state in the honour of the armed forces.

A large number of people, including children and women took part in the ‘Yatra’. Adityanath also accompanied it to some distance.

According to the BJP leaders here, the party intended to reach out to every household in the state and tell the people about ‘Operation Sindoor and narrate to them the stories of bravery of the armed forces.

The saffron party leaders, however, clarified that there was no intention to gain any political mileage from the ‘Yatra’.
