Our Ancestors Made Sacrifices To Free Ram Lalla, Witness Temple Being Built; Don't Consider Hindus As Cowards: Justice Shekhar Yadav

Speaking at an event organized by the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) legal cell in Prayagraj, Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav, a sitting Judge of the Allahabad High Court, said that many of our ancestors made sacrifices to see Ram Lalla freed and witness the construction of a grand temple. “Did you imagine seeing the Ram Mandir with your own eyes? Many of our ancestors made sacrifices in the hope of seeing Ram Lalla freed and witnessing the construction of a grand temple. They couldn't see it but did their part, but now, we are witnessing it (the temple)” : he said. Expressing his hope of seeing a Uniform Civil Code soon, he mentioned that while the construction of the Ram Mandir took time, the UCC bill would take less time and would come into existence in no time. "I assure you, you will see this (UCC) bill very soon. The day is not far when it will be clear that if there is one country, there should be one law, and one penal law. Those who try to deceive or run their own agendas will not last long." He also mentioned that he was taking an oath before all the great personalities who have ever been in the historic library room of the Allahabad High Court that this country will definitely bring a uniform law, and it will bring it very soon."If you say that our personal law allows this, it will not be accepted. A woman will receive maintenance, bigamy will not be allowed, and a man will have only one wife, not four wives...If one sister receives maintenance and the other does not, then that creates discrimination, which is against the Constitution," he said. Furthermore, he also stated that while Hindus are non-violent and kind, it should not be assumed that we are cowardly. Addressing the gathering of VHP members, he emphasized that we should teach our children that the country, our religious practices, and our great personalities come first. "You could be an advocate, a businessman, or a student, but you are a Hindu first. And anyone who says that this land is his mother and he is its child, is a Hindu. Vivekanand also believed that only a Hindu can make this country the world leader and no one else court. Never let this desire die." He clarified that a person who takes a dip in the Ganga or applies chandan is not the only definition of being Hindu and that anyone who considers this land their mother, who is willing to lay down their life for the country in times of crisis, regardless of their religious practices or beliefs, whether they follow the Quran or the Bible, is a Hindu.He added that if this spirit is suppressed, it won't take long (for this country) to become like Bangladesh or the Taliban. He said there is a need to spread the message among the people to strengthen themselves, recognize their religion, and honour the great personalities of their treta and dwapar yuga.He concluded by saying that he won't say that "ek rahenge to safe rahenge" but would say that once these values are realized, no one can harm us.Read more coverage of his speech here:No Hesitation To Say This Country Will Function As Per Wishes Of Majority; UCC Will Be A Reality Soon: Justice Shekhar Yadav At VHP EventPractice Of Having Multiple Wives Unacceptable; How Your Kids Would Be Kind When You Slaughter Animals In Front Of Them? : Justice Shekhar K.
