Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath on Sunday said that if the land where a Ram temple is being built in Ayodhya could be “reclaimed”, India could also take back the Sindh province, which is now in Pakistan.
“After 500 years, a grand temple of Lord Ram is being constructed in Ayodhya,” said the chief minister at a two-day National Sindhi Convention in Lucknow. “Ramlala will again be seated again in his temple by the Prime Minister in January…If Ram Janmabhoomi can be taken back after 500 years, there is no reason why we cannot take back Sindhu.”
Further, Adityanath said that there is a need for the Sindhi community to teach the present generation about its history. He said that the community suffered the most during the partition of India and Pakistan.
“The partition of 1947 was tragic,” he said. “It could have been avoided and stopped. Because of one person’s stubbornness, the country had to witness the tragedy of Partition due to which lakhs of people were killed. A large chunk of India’s land became Pakistan.”
