‘Efforts Made to Defame Kanwar Pilgrim’: CM Yogi Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday stated that efforts are being made to defame kanwar pilgrims, who are subjected to media trials and labeled as terrorists and rioters. He asserted that this stems from a mentality aimed at insulting India’s heritage.

Speaking in support of Lord Shiva devotees at a seminar on tribal icon Birsa Munda, Yogi mentioned that those who seek to defame the kanwar ‘yatris’ are the same individuals who tried to separate the tribal community from India.

“They conspired at every level to make them fight against India. This is the same community that always insults the faith of India and these are the same people who today want to create a situation of caste conflict by creating fake accounts on social media platforms," Adityanath was quoted by PTI as saying.
