Azamgarh could be renamed as Aryamgarh, hints Yogi

Azamgarh: Hinting that Azamgarh could be renamed as Aryamgarh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said that “setting up of a state university will truly turn Azamgarh into Aryamgarh”.
Addressing a public meeting following the university’s foundation laid here by Union home minister Amit Shah on Saturday, Yogi said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of development and Union home minister Amit Shah’s work has changed the image of Azamgarh.There is no doubt that this university will soon turn Azamgarh into Aryangarh. This university will become operational by the next academic session and students from 400 colleges of Azamgarh and Mau will get degrees from here.”
Mentioning that Azamgarh had remained the area of concern for him, Yogi recalled there was a time in Azamgarh when people were killed on demanding reciting Vande Matram. But, can anybody now show the courage of killing anybody in full public view here?
“In 2007, one Ajit Rai, an ABVP student leader was killed in front of the principal office of Shibli National College for demanding recital of Vande Mataram on occasions like Republic Day. Time of over a month was taken to register even an FIR in this case,” said Yogi, mentioning how he too was attacked during his visit to Azamgarh.
“No one could commit crimes like this here now,” said Yogi highlighting the achievements of his government on the law and order front.
“Those, who used to harass girls and women, are well aware that they will be treated like Duryodhan and Duhshashan of Mahabharata for their act,” said Yogi.
