LUCKNOW, Oct. 28 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday announced the renaming of Mustafabad village in Lakhimpur Kheri district as Kabir Dham, saying it is part of the efforts to restore pride. "Faizabad is now Ayodhya, and Allahabad is Prayagraj. And Mustafabad will again be made Kabir Dham...connecting you with the programme to restore the pride," he said while addressing the inaugural session of three-day Smriti Prakatyautsav Mela-2025 at Vishwa Kalyan Ashram at Mustafabad. The CM said he was surprised to learn that the village was named Mustafabad despite having no Muslim population. "When I came here I asked about this village, I was told its name is Mustafabad. I asked how many Muslims live here, and I was told there are none. Then I said the name should be changed. It should be called Kabir Dham. We will get a name change proposal and initiate the process," he added. Yogi said they, without naming anyone, renamed Ayodhya as Faizabad, Prayagraj as Allahabad, and Kabirdham as Mustafabad. "Our government is reversing that-restoring Ayodhya and Prayagraj, and now reviving Kabir Dham to its rightful name," he added. At the Kheri event, the CM paid homage to saints and said the BJP governments in the state and the Centre are working to restore and beautify religious sites. He said money was previously spent on building "graveyard boundaries", and they have worked to restore the identity of religious sites. Yogi called for the need to be vigilant against forces that break the unity. He said that the Opposition parties used to do this in the name of secularism, but this is hypocrisy. "Even today, anti-social forces are trying to attack faith and create divisions in the name of caste. If we do not recognise our weaknesses in time, these diseases will erode society like cancer," the CM added. He called patriotism the solution to all problems. "This land is not just a piece of soil. It is our motherland and fatherland. Serving this land is true worship. Think what if your identity is erased. Our culture and faith have been under attack. First, the conspiracy was to divide on caste, and second, an attack upon faith," he said, referring to what he called comments intended to insult the Sanatan Dharma. "The focus should be to first remove shortcomings on our side. Treat the ailment, and if we do the treatment on time, the wound will not get bigger. We need to weed out the bad under the guidance of what the saints say for the welfare of society and country," the CM said. Talking about the transformation under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, Yogi said before 2014, the country was grappling with an identity crisis. "Corruption, terrorism and divisive politics were at their peak. Under Modi's leadership, India has become the world's fourth largest economy and is poised to become the third largest economic superpower," he added. The CM said who would have thought 10 years back that the Ram temple would come up in Ayodhya. "Whenever the devotees talked about it, others used to say it was just a dream. There is a grand temple, and Ayodhya is a happening place. Last year, over 6-crore (60 million) devotees came to Ayodhya." He said the restoration of religious sites has been a boost to faith and tourism. The CM warned of foreign powers conspiring to destroy youth. "Limit phone use and focus on self-development," he said. Yogi further said the government is providing Rs.1,500 monthly for every cow. "To protect the cow, public representatives should oversee shelters. Chemical farming is making the land barren, so adopt natural farming." Yogi said a cow provides enough organic fertiliser for 30 acres of land. "This is true patriotism."...
