“Whoever remembers Ram becomes ‘pujya’ (worthy of veneration) for all, be it Hanuman or Maharishi Valmiki, and the one who goes against him faces death like Maricha (a demon killed by Ram),” Yogi Adityanath said in the assembly. He said those who remembered Lord Ram did not face any problem in the world. The chief minister also targeted the opposition for its role on the Ram temple issue. The foundation of the Ram temple in Ayodhya was laid on August 5 this year. Facing attack over the alleged rise in crime graph in the state, Yogi asserted there has been a drastic fall in criminal cases since 2016.
