GORAKHPUR, Sept. 12 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said quality education is the foundation of a vibrant and strong nation. He also highlighted that expressing gratitude towards those who contribute to the society and the nation is the foremost value of Sanatan Dharma. Speaking at Gorakhnath temple on the concluding day of the week-long commemoration of Mahant Digvijaynath's 56th death anniversary and Mahant Avaidyanath's 11th death anniversary, he said that both Mahants devoted their lives to educational empowerment, protection of Sanatan Dharma, and welfare of the nation. Yogi said Mahant Digvijaynath considered quality education to be the foundation of a strong nation. In line with this belief, he established the Maharana Pratap Shiksha Parishad in 1932 and later contributed to the founding of the Gorakhpur University. Both Mahants also played a historic role in the Ram Mandir movement - Mahant Digvijaynath initiated the campaign, while Mahant Avaidyanath carried it forward until his last breath, the CM said. Yogi also released a book titled "Philosophy and Spiritual Practice of Nath Panth" on the occasion. The CM has assured that the long-standing dispute over the statue of former MLA Kedar Nath Singh, a popular leader of the Sainthwar community, will be resolved respectfully. The statue, located at Civil Lines, Golghar Park Road, will be shifted to another location, he said. The dispute stems from a land ownership row concerning the premises where Singh's bungalow and statue exist. While his family claims the property was leased to him for 99 years, the administration had initiated eviction proceedings. This triggered protests by members of the Sainthwar community....
