Lucknow: When two countries don’t have cordial relations, politicians from either side can make the situation worse by making controversial statements. More so if the nations happen to be India and Pakistan.
In a comment that is not going to amuse our neighbours, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Monday that Pakistan is a ‘cancer for humanity’ and called for global community to ‘treat it’.
“Pakistan is a cancer and until it is treated, we cannot resolve the problems. Now, PoK is demanding to be free and be a part of India again… Pakistan is a cancer for humanity too. The world forces will have to come together to treat this in time,” Yogi said at a public meeting in Agartala.

इसका उपचार समय रहते दुनिया की ताकतों को मिलकर करना होगा… pic.twitter.com/SvJnE3VrcI

In an election rally four months ago, ahead of Lok Sabha polls, the UP CM had claimed that Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir will become a part of India within six months of Prime Minister Narendra Modi securing a third term in office.
“We will not worship our enemy. If someone kills our people, we will not worship them but give them an answer that they deserve. It has become difficult for Pakistan to save Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Let PM Modi become the Prime Minister for the third time and within six months PoK will become part of India,” Yogi said. Modi did become PM for a record-equalling third consecutive term in June, and three-and-a-half months have passed since he took oath.
Yogi also blamed Congress for India’s Partition.
“RSS knew that if we follow Congress’ treaty, they will divide the nation, genocide Hindus and destroy the ethnic traditions of our country. Congress accepted the partition of the country for its own selfish interests,” Yogi said on Monday.
“Today, we all are efficiently working for ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’… Whenever we reminisce about Lord Krishna, we can see that in one hand, he has ‘Murli’ and in the other hand, he has ‘Sudarshan’. Only ‘Murli’ will be of no good, ‘Sudarshan’ is also needed for security,” he added.
