Lucknow,

18 Feb (HS): On the first day of the budget session of the Uttar Pradesh

Assembly on Tuesday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a scathing attack

on the opposition, especially the Samajwadi Party. He said that the SP leaders

will educate their children in English medium schools and when the government

talks about providing better facilities to the children of the common people,

these people start advocating the imposition of Urdu. He alleged that the SP

wants to take the country towards fundamentalism, which will not be acceptable

at all.

After

the Governor's address, the proceedings of the Legislative Assembly began at

12:30 pm. From the bench, the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Satish Mahana

informed the House about the new system implemented in the Legislative

Assembly. He told that under this system, now the proceedings of the House can

be heard in Hindi as well as Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Braj, Bundeli as well as

English. By changing the channel in the mike installed inside the House, the

members of the House can also listen to the proceedings in their dialect. On

this, Leader of Opposition Mata Prasad Pandey stood up from his seat and

protested. He said that after a lot of hard work, English was removed from this

House. We are not against other languages, we are against English. If English

is being brought, then Urdu should also be brought.

On

this, the leader of the House and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath welcomed the

decision to give place to the local dialects of Uttar Pradesh - Bhojpuri,

Awadhi, Braj and Bundelkhandi in the proceedings of the Assembly. He said that

considering these dialects as dialects of Hindi, the government is committed to

their preservation and promotion. Yogi said that our government is forming

separate academies for these languages, so that they prosper. These are the

daughters of Hindi and they should get proper respect. This House is not only

for scholars, but the voice of every section of the society should get a place

here. He said that those who are opposing Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Braj and

Bundelkhandi are actually against the cultural heritage of Uttar Pradesh.

Targeting the Samajwadi Party, he said that their character has become double.

The

leader of the house said that Braj Bhasha is so rich that Saint Surdas composed

his works in this language. Similarly, Saint Tulsidas ji composed

Ramcharitmanas in Awadhi, which became a support not only for North India but

also for the NRIs in times of crisis. Those who are opposing Bhojpuri, Awadhi

and Braj languages ​​today are actually against the cultural heritage and traditions

of India. It is very sad that when these languages ​​are being given respect,

some people are opposing it.

Taking

a dig at the opposition, Yogi said that it has become the nature of the

Samajwadi Party to oppose every good work. You people oppose every positive

step taken in the interest of the state and the country. This will not work. He

said that when the Vidhan Sabha Secretariat recognized local languages, the

Samajwadi Party opposed it as well. Taking a dig, he said that the public understands

this double standard of the SP and they should be exposed in front of the

society.

Socialists

want to take the country towards fundamentalism, says CM Yogi: The Chief

Minister said that his government is committed to promoting Bhojpuri, Awadhi,

Braj and Bundelkhandi. Bhojpuri Academy, Awadhi Academy and Braj Academy are

being established to give respect to these languages. It is our responsibility

to save our mother tongues and promote them. This protest of the opposition

shows that they are not only against development, but also against our culture.

These people will educate their children in English schools and if the

government wants to provide that facility to someone else's child, they say no,

teach him Urdu. That is, they want to make the children maulvis. They want to

take the country towards fundamentalism. This cannot go on.

Finance

and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna said that we are not imposing

English. This is an option. If our people are abroad and want to watch the

proceedings of the House in English, they will be able to do so. This step will

expand the Vidhan Sabha and its proceedings. Therefore, its opposition is not

justified. After this, some amendment bills were tabled and other work was

done. With this, the proceedings of the House were adjourned till 11 am on

Wednesday.

The

MLA of Milkipur was sworn in: As soon as the proceedings of the House began,

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna requested the Speaker of the

Legislative Assembly to administer the oath to BJP MLA Chandrabhanu Paswan who

won the by-election from Milkipur Assembly seat of Ayodhya. On this, Speaker of

the Legislative Assembly Satish Mahana administered the oath of membership of

the Legislative Assembly to Chandrabhanu Paswan who won with a huge margin from

the Milkipur Assembly seat of Ayodhya district. After this, Chandrabhanu Paswan

also participated in the proceedings of the House.
