RAM TEMPLE ISSUE COULD BE RESOLVED IN 24 HOURS: YOGI

LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said the Ayodhya Ram temple issue could be resolved within 24 hours. Addressing the state Assembly, the chief minister said, “Faith of the people should be honoured. The court should take cognisance of the people’s faith.” “This dispute should not take even an hour more than 24 hours to resolve.”

Speaking on the hooch tragedy that claimed over 100 lives in UP and Uttarakhand, Adityanath warned that exemplary punishment will be given to those responsible for the deaths in the hooch tragedy, while saying “some people’ were trying to vitiate the atmosphere in the state. The chief minister added that the government will delve into the details and find out who were playing with the lives of the poor.

“Some people are trying to vitiate the atmosphere of the state. The incident (hooch deaths) is unfortunate. Whosoever will be found guilty, he will get such a punishment that it will set an example for conspirators,” he said, alleging that in the past four cases of deaths due to consumption of spurious liquor, involvement of Samajwadi Party men were found.
