He also praised the national education policy for empowering youth to pursue their talents and interests, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. Saini criticized the then Congress govt for imposing the emergency, stating there was no instability or natural disaster to justify it. "Fifty years ago, during the Emergency, not only were political rights violated, but there was also a brutal attack on women's freedom, dignity, and rights. It was a time when both democracy and women's dignity were strangled. Women were imprisoned, their voices were suppressed, and they were confined to their homes," said the CM. He added that it reminds him of a time when efforts were made to suppress the voice of the entire nation. "It was an era when, disregarding the constitution, the country was turned into a prison to save the power of one family," he said. He also expressed confidence that India's democratic spirit can never be crushed again. "Today, with so many aware mothers and sisters present, I am confident that no one can crush the democratic consciousness of this country again," he said, adding that emergency was imposed on the night of June 25, 1975, by misusing the constitution, which curtailed the rights of every individual in the country.

Yogi Adityanath pays tribute to Syama Prasad Mukherjee, says his dream of a secure India realised
Paying tribute to Bharatiya Jana Sangh founder Dr Syama Prasad Mukherjee on his death anniversary, chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday remembered him as a great son of 'Bharat Mata', a distinguished educationist, freedom fighter and the visionary behind Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath offering floral tribute on the occasion of Syama Prasad Mukherjee's death anniversary, in Lucknow on Monday. (HT Photo) He said Mukherjee's dream of a united and secure India was realised over 65 years after his death when Article 370 was abrogated on August 5, 2019, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, as the founder and first president of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, laid the foundation for a new political direction in independent India, Yogi Adityanath said. Adityanath paid floral tributes to Dr Mukherjee at his statue installed at the Civil Hospital. State BJP president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, deputy CM Brajesh Pathak and others were also present on the occasion. Addressing the gathering, Adityanath stated that as a cabinet minister, Dr Mukherjee played a key role in shaping the country's industrial policy through his visionary leadership. He later resigned from the Nehru cabinet in protest against policies he believed threatened national unity and integrity, the chief minister said. Adityanath stated Jammu and Kashmir is now truly experiencing the spirit of the Indian Constitution and its democratic values. 'Abrogation of Article 370 stands as a tribute by the Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Modi to the ultimate sacrifice of Dr Mukherjee,' Adityanath said. Following the first general elections in 1952, the then government undermined national unity by introducing Article 370 and implementing a permit system in Jammu and Kashmir, the chief minister said. In response, Dr Mukherjee boldly entered Kashmir, asserting the principle of 'Ek Pradhan, Ek Vidhan, Ek Nishan.' He was arrested and later sacrificed his life in custody on June 23, 1953, Adityanath said. Meanwhile, Adityanath planted a 'Rudraksha' sapling on the Bhadohi Collectorate campus under the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign on the occasion of Dr Syama Prasad Mukherjee's death anniversary. Uttar Pradesh Jal Shakti minister Swatantra Dev Singh planted a 'Molshree' sapling, while Bhadohi MP Dr Vinod Kumar Bind planted an 'Amla' (Indian gooseberry) sapling. Also present on the occasion were Gyanpur MLA Vipul Dubey, Aurai MLA Deenanath Bhaskar, district panchayat president Aniruddh Tripathi among others.

Op Sindoor showed India now responds with strength if war imposed on it: Yogi
Lucknow: Chief Minister on Tuesday said that showcased India's military might and asserted that India now responds with strength rather than silence if someone imposes war on the country. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Speaking at a press conference to highlight the achievements of the Modi govt at the Centre in past 11 years, the CM said that these years would be remembered as a "golden period in the making of a self-reliant India". "India now responds with strength rather than silence and if someone imposes war on the country, the answer will be in the form of Operation Sindoor. If someone encourages terrorism, the answer will be surgical strikes, air strikes and Operation Sindoor," Yogi said. "The whole world has seen the Indian military power, tested in Pakistan and trusted by the world," he added. "There was a tendency to chant the mantra of peace even in the face of aggression. But through the 'new normal' established under the current leadership, that approach has been completely reversed. Now, India responds with strength, not silence." He said that under Modi's leadership, India regained its honour on the global platform, which had "diminished during the 65 years of Congress and other unstable govts", he said. He said that PM Modi had given India a distinct global identity. "His governance is marked by service, good administration and welfare of the poor. Better service delivery on the ground has been assigned as primary duty and responsibility in the BJP ruled states," Yogi said. "Country has become free of corruption and nepotism while appeasement of community has been discouraged. Before 2014, country was facing various threats and vulnerabilities but after Modi took over, New India has leaped on the path of progress," he added. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "The vision of 'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat' (One India, Great India) is being realised. India's 140 crore citizens have witnessed the govt's firm commitment to national unity and integrity, as well as its decisive approach towards security and terrorism," he added. Highlighting economic progress, he said the country's economy made great strides under PM Modi. "Through constant monitoring and thoughtful spending outlay, our country has become fourth largest economy in the world. India is the only country which has managed to double its per capita income from Rs 79,000 in 2013-14 to Rs 2.5 lakh. Soon, the country will climb to the third spot," he said. "Before 2014, India was marked by instability. Economy was uncertain, and people lacked confidence about the country's future. From 1947 to 2014, India had only managed to become the world's 11th largest economy and even that was fragile," he said. "Focus has been on deploying technology tools. Our govt has redefined the way IT services and direct beneficiary transfers are taking place," Yogi said. Referring to the abrogation of Article 370, Yogi said that decision brought Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh fully into the constitutional fold. Pointing towards the way infrastructure has been augmented, Yogi said that pace of highway construction had tripled — from 11km per day during the UPA era to over 35km per day at present. "Successful coordination of faith and economy has created a new model of development, with spiritual heritage becoming a catalyst for economic growth," he said and cited the example of the Maha Kumbh, where five new economic corridors emerged, boosting employment and regional economies. "Under Lakhpati Didi Yojana, the goal is to make 3 crore women financially independent. Already, 10 crore women have joined over 90 lakh self-help groups. Presently, 14,500 schools are being upgraded under PM Shri school for foundational education. Since 2014, 8 new IITs, 7 IIMs, 490 new universities have been established and 8.6 lakh jobs were created through PSUs," Yogi said. "PM's vision of 'Healthy India, Capable India' has brought unprecedented reforms in the country's healthcare sector. While Congress govts built only one AIIMS, Atal Bihari Vajpayee added six, and Prime Minister Modi expanded the number to 23 — including two in Uttar Pradesh (Gorakhpur and Rae Bareli)," he said. "Till 2014, India had just 180 medical colleges but now there are 2,045 medical colleges nationwide, with 80 in Uttar Pradesh alone," Yogi said. He said that under Ayushman Bharat, over 50 crore people had been provided health cover and free treatment worth Rs 1.3 lakh crore. "Through e-Sanjeevani, over 37 crore teleconsultations have been provided, transforming healthcare accessibility across India," he said.
