On the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath issued a powerful call for Hindu unity in light of recent events in Bangladesh. Speaking from Mathura, the CM expressed deep concern over the plight of Hindus in Bangladesh, who, he claimed, are celebrating Janmashtami in fear and without the usual joy associated with the festival.Adityanath emphasized the importance of unity, warning that division would lead to disaster. If we are divided, we will be cut off, he stated, highlighting the vulnerability of Hindus in Bangladesh, particularly after recent political upheavals. According to the CM, many Bangladeshi Hindus are observing Janmashtami with fasting and prayers, but the celebrations are marred by fear and uncertainty.
