Yogi Adityanath Remembers Ambedkar on His Death Anniversary

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath commemorated Dr. B R Ambedkar's 69th death anniversary, recalling his concerns about figures like Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar. Adityanath criticized those who, despite benefiting from India, consider its soil unholy, thereby undermining Ambedkar's vision and contributing to national discord.

On the 69th death anniversary of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath highlighted a poignant warning originally voiced by the architect of the Indian Constitution about individuals undermining India's interests.

In a speech during the Mahaparinirvaan Diwas programme, Adityanath rebuked Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar's controversial stance, citing Ambedkar's insights on nationalism. Jauhar, a key figure in the Khilafat movement, was buried in Jerusalem, a wish that Adityanath inferred went against Indian values.

Adityanath emphasized that those prioritizing appeasement could be derailing the potential progress of India, thereby insulting Ambedkar's legacy. The discourse underscored ongoing political tensions surrounding national identity and patriotism.
