  • | Tuesday | 8th October, 2024

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Monday, stated that while derogatory remarks against deities, great figures or saints of any caste, religion or sect are unacceptable, anarchy in the name of protest will not be tolerated either. During a review of the law and order situation with the chief secretary, director general of police, additional chief secretary (home), and other senior officials ahead of the upcoming festivals, the chief minister emphasised the need to respect the beliefs of all sects. Every citizen should have a sense of gratitude towards great figures, but this cannot be imposed on anyone, he said. The chief minister emphasised that anyone who tampers with faith or makes derogatory remarks against great men, deities or sects will be dealt with strictly under the law and punished. He also stressed that people of all religions and sects must show mutual respect. Chief Minister Yogi made it clear that anarchy, vandalism or arson in the name of protest will not be tolerated, warning that anyone attempting such actions will face consequences. Directing the police administration, the chief minister instructed that every district and police station must ensure that the Shardiya Navratri and Vijayadashami festivals are celebrated in an atmosphere of joy, peace and harmony. Identify those who seek to disrupt the atmosphere and take strict action. Deal firmly with anyone acting against the law, he ordered. The chief minister, while issuing instructions for ensuring womens safety, stressed that foot and PRV 112 patrolling should be increased in crowded areas. He emphasised that the safety and convenience of women and girls must be a priority, and all departments should work together to achieve this goal.
