CM flags off Bharat Shaurya Tiranga Yatra, leads with pride holding the Tricolour
Lucknow, May 14: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that during times of national crisis, patience and unity become the greatest strengths of a nation. In such challenging circumstances, the Indian Army demoralized Pakistan with its unwavering resolve, he added.
Following the success of Operation Sindoor, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath flagged off the Bharat Shaurya Tiranga Yatra from his official residence on Wednesday, leading the march with the tricolour held high. He declared, “Let it be clear—anyone who dares to challenge India or dishonour our sisters and daughters will face a fate so decisive, there will be none left to mourn them.”
“The world has seen Pakistan’s shameless truth — a nation where even top leaders and military officials attend the funerals of terrorists. This is undeniable proof of Pakistan’s failure as a state, which in the past 70–75 years has done nothing but foster terrorism. Pakistan has authored its own downfall. The shelter it provides to terrorism will eventually lead to its own destruction,” the Chief Minister remarked further. He emphasized that the bold response through Operation Sindoor was a decisive answer to the provocations of a hollowed-out Pakistan.
On behalf of Uttar Pradesh’s people, he congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the armed forces, veterans, and the youth, celebrating the valor displayed during the operation. “The entire nation stands united in saluting the courage and dedication of our armed forces,” he said.
Recalling the barbaric terror attack at Pahalgam on April 22, CM Yogi condemned the silence of Pakistan and its backers. Despite India presenting all necessary evidence, Pakistan continued to shield terrorists, prompting the launch of Operation Sindoor, he stated.
He said, “On the very first day, over 100 terrorists and their associates, who were actively nurturing this poisonous network, were eliminated. This strong response showcased the might and resolve of our armed forces — Army, Navy, and Air Force — sending a clear message to the world: India will not provoke, but it will not spare those who do.”
The Chief Minister also highlighted that the BJP has initiated the Tiranga Yatra in honor of India’s soldiers. “The Tricolor represents our pride, dignity, and bravery. This yatra is our way of expressing gratitude to the soldiers and saluting the leadership of Prime Minister Modi,” he said.
Praising the enthusiastic public participation, he added, “Despite the scorching heat, your presence early in the morning is a beautiful expression of the nation’s unwavering respect and dedication towards our soldiers and the government’s resolve under Operation Sindoor.”
The Chief Minister affirmed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has, from the very beginning, upheld “Nation First” as the guiding principle for building a new and developed India. He emphasized that this spirit must be embraced not just in words but in action. “When all 140 crore Indians place the nation above all else and carry out their duties with unwavering commitment, no force in the world can stand against India,” he said.
Expressing his gratitude to Prime Minister Modi, the Chief Minister said that, through his visit to Adampur in Punjab, he not only united the nation but also inspired and uplifted the morale of our brave soldiers.
