“WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN, SOCIALIST, SECULAR, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens: JUSTICE, social, economic and political; LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; EQUALITY of status and of opportunity; and to promote among them all FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation” Last month, Adityanath had claimed that every citizen of India is Hindu. According to news reports, he has now also “asserted that historical facts cannot be denied,” and accused that some people were still raising questions on the existence of Lord Ram in Ayodhya. The India Today reported that CM Adityanath hit out at those “questioning Hindu culture”, and narrated the story of a Buddhist guide in the Angkor Wat temple he had met during his visit to Cambodia. The guide, said Adityanath, was confident enough to admit that Buddhism had originated from Hinduism. He added, "The stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata not only give us the best life lessons, but also tell us a lot about the expansion of Indian boundaries. These stories of our epic Hindu literature help us envision a better India. Pakistan was a part of India before 1947 and Maryada Purushottam Lord Sri Ram had extended the boundaries of India during his time by making his brother’s son, the ruler of Pakistan." According to India Today, Adityanath, “also urged the people to not let go of the harmonious spirit of the nation by getting involved in petty communal disputes.”
