New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday warned the Taliban saying that if the insurgent group tries to move towards India, “an air strike is ready.”

While addressing the Samajik Pratinidhi Sammelan in Lucknow, he said that Pakistan and Afghanistan are “feeling disturbed” because of the Taliban. “Today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is powerful, and no country can dare to raise its eyes towards India. Today, Pakistan and Afghanistan are feeling disturbed because of the Taliban. But, the Taliban knows if it moves towards India, an air strike is ready,” he said, according to a PTI report. 

According to the statement issued by the BJP’s UP unit, he further attacked the opposition. Without naming anyone, he referred to Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief Om Prakash Rajbhar saying “His (Rajbhar's) thought process is confined only to the development of his family. While the father wanted to become a minister, one son wanted to be an MP, and another an MLC. The shops of such people indulging in blackmailing must be shut.”

“There were two ministers from the Rajbhar community in my cabinet. In the Cabinet meeting, one minister opposed the construction of a memorial in honour of Maharaja Suheldev in Bahraich, while Anil Rajbhar wanted a grand memorial should be built,” he further added.

Counting the achievements of the BJP government and attacking the SBSP, he said, “Today, a grand memorial is being built in Bahraich. The BJP government has named the medical college in Bahraich, after Suheldev. What have the opposition parties done for Maharaja Suheldev?”

He further said, “followers of Muhammad Ghori and invader Ghazi fear that if a a Suheldev memorial is built, people will forget Ghazi, and trash those indulging in political blackmailing. This is why they indirectly oppose the memorial of Suheldev.”

He furthered his attack on the opposition parties Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), Samajwadi Party (SP), and Congress by saying that Congress has nothing to do with development. Attacking the SP he questioned whether those “who murdered Ram devotees have the courage to seek apology from the people of the country?”
