Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath yesterday made it clear that Hindus are prepared for mutual settlement for the Kashi and Mathura pilgrim websites but when the Muslim sides do not agree, then the authorized battle will proceed. Citing the Mahabharat incident when Lord Krishna went to Kauravas and Duryodhana as a messenger for dispute settlement in search of solely 5 villages for Pandavas, CM Yogi mentioned that Hindus are asking for less than three- Kashi, Mathura and Ayodhya.
CM Yogi Adityanath mentioned that the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah website in Mathura and the Kashi Vishwanath-Gyanvapi mosque complicated in Varanasi are the 2 different disputed lands that Hindus have been claiming. “Injustice was done to Ayodhya. When I talk about injustice, we remember something 5 thousand years old… Lord Shri Krishna asked (Duryodhan) for half (of the property), but if that was difficult, then give only five villages. He talked about 5 villages. But the Hindu society and faith here are talking about only three (Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura). These are the three places that are the centre of our faith,” he mentioned.
हमने तो केवल तीन जगह मांगी…
श्री अयोध्या धाम का उत्सव लोगों ने देखा…
नंदी बाबा ने भी कहा कि हम काहे इंतजार करें…
हमारे कृष्ण कन्हैया कहां मानने वाले हैं… pic.twitter.com/yzqFAcicuP

Chief Minister quoted from Ramdhari Singh Dinkar’s ‘Rashmirathi’ and mentioned, “Duryodhana wo bhi de na saka, Ashish samaj ke le na saka. Ulte, Hari ko bandhe chala, jo tha asadhya, sadhne chala.” These traces from the poem in translation imply, Duryodhana could not even give (these 5 villages) and get blessed. Instead, he sought to tame Hari, which was unimaginable.
“Krishna had asked for five villages that time. Here, the society and its faith, for hundreds of years, was talking about three, just three…No where in the world, a majority society was seen pleading for getting their own land,” Yogi Adityanath mentioned, referring to the spots at Ayodhya, Mathura and Varanasi.
Speaking within the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, CM Yogi mentioned, “Ayodhya City was brought within the purview of prohibitions and curfews by the previous governments. For centuries, Ayodhya was cursed with ugly intentions. It faced a planned disdain. Such treatment of public sentiments was perhaps never seen anywhere else. Ayodhya faced injustice,” he mentioned. CM Adityanath blamed votebank politics for the scenario. “When politics kicks in and votes are looked at, dispute begins,” he mentioned.
