Lucknow, May 10 -- Now that it's proven that "Shameless Pakistan" has a direct involvement in terrorism, it will be seen struggling for its existence, chief minister Yogi Adityanath said in Lucknow on Friday amid escalating India-Pakistan tensions. Participating in a commemorative event marking Maharana Pratap Jayanti, he paid tribute to Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Guru Gobind Singh. Hitting out at Pakistan, Adityanath stated that the country has crossed all limits of audacity and now faces an existential crisis. He asserted that Pakistan's terrorist face has been fully exposed to the world. Referring to the terrorist attack on Indian tourists in Pahalgam on April 22, he said the incident had stirred the conscience of every Indian and strengthened the resolve for decisive retaliation. Under the firm leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Indian armed forces had delivered a robust and appropriate response to such provocations, he said.As a result, he noted Pakistan now finds itself globally isolated and severely weakened.Condemning Pakistan's "continued patronage of terrorism", he pointed out the "shocking participation" of senior Pakistani military officials and politicians at the funerals of terrorists who were neutralised in Indian counterterrorism operations."This not only proves Pakistan's patronage of terrorists but also shows its deep-rooted complicity," he said, adding that Pakistan is now visibly struggling for survival.The chief minister called upon citizens to remain united and firmly stand by the Indian armed forces. He cautioned against the spread of misinformation and rumours on social media, urging people to stay alert and expose anti-national elements."Every Indian must support our forces and expose anti-national elements. We must move forward with unity under the guidance of our central leadership," he said.He reiterated that India will emerge victorious in every circumstance, and Uttar Pradesh stands unwaveringly with the nation's defenders. "India under any circumstances is a victor and will continue to be the victor," he said. Drawing inspiration from history, he said the birth anniversaries of warriors like Maharana Pratap serve as reminders of India's legacy of resistance and bravery. Recalling the historic Battle of Haldighati, the chief minister highlighted how Maharana Pratap, with the support of Vanvasi and Girivasi warriors, forced Emperor Akbar's massive army to retreat-showcasing the triumph of courage over might. On the occasion, Legislative assembly member Rakesh Singh and Legislative Council member Manvendra Singh were congratulated on beautifying a major intersection in the city, which will now be named Maharana Pratap Singh Chowk. The event was attended by Legislative Council chairman Kunwar Manvendra Singh, cabinet ministers Suresh Khanna, Swatantra Dev Singh, Rakesh Sachan, and Dayashankar Singh, as well as public representatives, Acharya Shantanu Maharaj, Mayankeshwar Sharan Singh, Dinesh Pratap Singh, MP Brijlal, Sanjay Seth, Jai Pratap Singh, Rakesh Singh, Manvendra Singh, Santosh Singh, Kaushal Kishore and Dara Singh Chauhan....
