00:00There's some more breaking news that's coming in. Big Holi vs Friday Namaz debate has broken out.
00:04Chief Minister Yogi backs Sambhalkop's Holi vs Friday Namaz remark. Yogi says
00:10Holi comes once in a year while Friday prayers come 52 times in a year. He further says those
00:16stepping out must have a broad mindset. Yogi stresses communal harmony, mutual respect.
00:21The opposition has hit out at Chief Minister Yogi and Sambhalkop. Opposition says Sambhalkop's
00:26statement is biased. Opposition also demands action against Sambhalkop.
00:31The Sambhalkop has said those uncomfortable with Holi must stay indoors.
00:56So that's Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister backing Sambhalkop on his remarks where the Sambhalkop
01:13has said that those uncomfortable with Holi must stay indoors. UP Chief Minister speaking at the
01:18India Today conclave said Holi comes once in a year while Friday prayers come 52 times in a year
01:23while stressing communal harmony and mutual respect.
01:53Holi comes once in a year while Friday prayers come 52 times in a year.
02:24The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath
02:33clearly stands with Sambhalkop's statement that Holi once in a year comes and one who is having
02:42any problem with the colours they can stay in their homes and they should not come on the streets
02:48because Holi comes once in a year and they can offer their namaz on Juma every Friday.
02:59So this we can say that Yogi Adityanath stands clearly with that UP cop who said that Holi
03:07once comes in a year and Juma comes every 52 times in a year. So this is the controversy
03:17erupted after that statement opposition started targeting BJP and targeting that uniform is also
03:24getting politicized but now Yogi Adityanath also stands with the UP cop and now we can assume that
03:31this is the biggest statement given by the Yogi Adityanath and given clearly the stance of the
03:38UP government that Holi should be calibrated with full zeal and enthusiasm. Those who have
03:47any problem with the Holi celebration or those who have any problem with the colours they should
03:52avoid that timing when the people celebrate Holi on the streets, they should stay in their rooms,
03:58they should offer the namaz in their nearest mosque or in their houses. So we can say that
04:04this is the CM Yogi Adityanath clear stand given in the India Today conclave with the UP police
04:13cop Anit Choudhury who is right now the deputy SP Sambal and he says that he is our cop and he is
04:23a professional wrestler so he doesn't know the political statements. He says what he wants to
04:31say clearly, what he said is clear that Holi should be celebrated with all the zeal and enthusiasm.
04:39Absolutely Santosh. Thank you for bringing us those details on that story. UP chief minister
04:43Yogi Adityanath backing Sambal cop saying that those uncomfortable with Holi must stay indoors.
