Yogi’s Stern Warning: Unity Amidst Conversion Fears
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath paid homage to the sacrifices of the Sikh Gurus on July 12, 2025, during the launch of the Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sandesh Yatra. The event commemorated the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur.
Adityanath strongly condemned recent attempts at illegal religious conversions, describing them as a conspiracy to fracture the nation’s social fabric. He specifically highlighted a case involving foreign funding.
The Chief Minister emphasized the need for Hindu-Sikh unity, warning against divisive forces attempting to exploit religious differences. His remarks underscore the delicate religious balance in the state.
This incident highlights growing concerns about religious conversions and the need for vigilance against forces seeking to undermine India’s pluralistic identity. The ongoing Yatra serves as a potent reminder of the shared history and sacrifices that bind Hindus and Sikhs.
