Adityanath stated that divisions based on caste and religion could lead to destruction, akin to what is currently happening in Bangladesh. He criticized so-called secularists for their silence regarding the repeated atrocities occurring in the neighboring country. The Chief Minister remarked that no one is addressing the issues in Bangladesh; those who attempt to fracture the Hindu community remain silent on this matter.
He mockingly suggested that it seems as if their mouths are glued shut or taped over, as they utter not a word. During his address, he also paid tribute to Jagadguru Ramanandacharya, recalling that 700 years ago, he called for unity among all communities, asserting that every individual has the right to seek refuge in God. He gathered disciples from various castes to promote societal unity.
