CM Yogi: Those Plotting to Undermine Sanatan Create New Deceptive Narratives Daily

On Tuesday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a fierce critique of the Congress and the Samajwadi Party, accusing them of disseminating misinformation about Sanatan Dharma. He targeted Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav for their alleged disparaging remarks in Parliament regarding the Mahakumbh, claiming that they are misleading the public.Addressing the media, CM Yogi remarked, “While both the nation and the world celebrate the grandeur of Sanatan Dharma, those who are hired to tarnish its reputation are fabricating new falsehoods daily in relation to the Mahakumbh.”

He described the comments made by Kharge and Yadav as “shameful and unacceptable.” Concerning Kharge’s remarks on fatalities during Mauni Amavasya, the Chief Minister termed them misleading and unfortunate, emphasizing that leaders of India’s oldest political party should exercise responsibility in their public statements. He accused both of them of trying to outdo each other in making anti-Sanatan comments.

The CM refuted claims that no statistics were shared about the Mauni Amavasya incident, asserting that he and his administration had publicly communicated all relevant figures. While acknowledging the tragedy of the event, he reiterated that it affected everyone deeply. He praised the prompt actions taken by the administration, police, NDRF, SDRF, and Civil Defence to ensure the swift transfer of the injured to hospitals.

CM Yogi highlighted the presence of millions of devotees in Prayagraj that day, suggesting that anti-Sanatan factions and opposition parties were wishing for a calamity. “Despite the government’s rigorous measures to ensure a ‘zero-incident’ event, the unfortunate occurrence took place. However, the administration acted promptly, delivering immediate medical care,” he stated.

He reassured that all injured individuals received adequate treatment, with some recovering at Prayagraj Medical College and others returning home. Together with his ministers and senior officials, he personally met with the affected individuals.

He pointed out that those hospitalized confirmed there were no shortcomings in the arrangements. Moreover, a judicial commission was promptly established to investigate the incident thoroughly. The government’s primary focus, he said, was to facilitate the safe return of approximately 80-90 million devotees.

The chief minister dismissed the opposition’s assertions that numerous devotees missed their opportunity for a holy dip and that the Amrit and Shahi Snan did not occur, labeling these claims as deceptive and part of a scheme to discredit Sanatan Dharma. He clarified that no traditions were interrupted—Mauni Amavasya Snan commenced at 7:30 PM the evening prior and continued until late the following day.

Following the incident, Akhadas had momentarily postponed their Snan after discussions with the Mela Authority but later reaffirmed participation in traditional ceremonies by all saints, acharyas, and mahamandaleshwars. CM Yogi confirmed that all Amrit Snans—including Makar Sankranti, Mauni Amavasya, and Basant Panchami—were carried out as per custom.

In a critical remark aimed at SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav regarding his comments on the government’s 100 crore announcement, CM Yogi encouraged him to accurately read official communications. “These are individuals who awaken at noon and merely read notes prepared by their staff. They are not leaders but mere readers, ridiculing themselves in the process,” he added.

Emphasizing the expansive scale of the Mahakumbh, he reiterated his prior statements predicting participation from 40-45 crore devotees. Within just 22 days, 38 crore devotees had already converged, with many more expected in the days ahead.

The CM noted that the Amrit Snan for Basant Panchami was conducted yesterday and indicated that events like Magh Purnima will take place on January 12 and Mahashivaratri on February 26. He mentioned that devotees from across India and the globe are eager to attend, including the King of Bhutan, who joined the celebration.

CM Yogi cautioned that certain groups are being compensated to undermine Sanatan Dharma and are engaged in conspiratorial activities, but he vowed that their endeavors would be thwarted. “We will investigate the incident of January 29 and bring the conspirators to light,” he declared.

Chandigarh: A woman who allegedly posed as a PCS officer and married an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader in Punjab reportedly fled with gold and silver jewellery and other valuables just a few months after the wedding.

AAP Joint Secretary Amarinder Singh Mandofal has alleged that he was cheated by the woman, identified as Manwinder Kaur. The two got married in February 2026 after Kaur’s family introduced her to Amarinder as a PCS officer.

According to Amarinder’s complaint, the woman was also presented as unmarried. However, he later allegedly discovered that she had been married earlier and had a son aged around 18. He also claimed that she had provided false information about her age.

The woman allegedly left the house with gold and silver jewellery and other valuable items a few months after the marriage. Amarinder said he became suspicious and later gathered information about her past.

Based on his complaint, police have registered a case against six people, including Kaur, on charges of cheating and forgery.

The FIR names her brother Tarlochan Singh, mother Varinderjit Kaur, cousin Narinder Singh Goldy, sister-in-law Rupinder Kaur, and former village sarpanch Surinder Singh Rana as co-accused.

Police said all the accused are residents of Sur Singh village under the Bhikhiwind police station limits in Tarn Taran district.

The wedding had been attended by several prominent AAP leaders and public representatives, including Punjab Assembly Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan and Minister Tarunpreet Singh Sondh.

Videos and pictures from the wedding celebrations have also gone viral on social media.

Police have begun an investigation into the allegations and the background of the accused.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Captain Smit Machchhar over a video call and praised his courage after he helped prevent a major air disaster.

Captain Machchhar was seriously injured after his co-pilot allegedly stabbed him during a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv on Wednesday. The Boeing 737 MAX reportedly lost nearly 14,000 feet in less than 30 seconds.

Passengers and crew members entered the cockpit and overpowered the co-pilot. A second pair of pilots then took control and safely landed the aircraft in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. More than 170 passengers and crew were on board.

Speaking from his hospital bed, Captain Machchhar told PM Modi that he was badly injured and had collapsed in the cockpit. He realised that the aircraft was rapidly losing altitude and that he had to act.

“I could not let all those people die,” he told the Prime Minister.

Captain Machchhar said his 17 years of flying experience helped him understand what was happening to the aircraft. He managed to open the cockpit door, after which passengers and crew came to his help.

He also said he was chanting the Hanuman Chalisa while fighting the pain and fear.

PM Modi praised the captain’s courage, patience and presence of mind. He said Captain Machchhar’s actions helped save many lives and called his effort a “monumental task.”

Captain Machchhar, who is from Gujarat, has more than 9,750 flying hours and has served as a captain for 11 years.
