Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday, 9 August, that India's strength is its unity and the country will be weakened if citizens are divided on the basis of caste and religion.
The chief minister was addressing a programme to mark the Kakori incident on 9 August, 1925, in which freedom fighters stopped a train and decamped with money to buy weapons.
He said,
"India's strength is its unity. When the population of 135 crore speaks together, India not only remains the largest democracy in the world but is also seen representing and guiding the world as the mother of democracy."
