Those who made bombs used to be troubled by the ‘Bam-Bam’ chants of Shiva devotees: CM Yogi

Ghaziabad, July 17 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said in Ghaziabad on Friday that it sounds absurd when Congress and the Samajwadi Party speak about faith.
He stated, “These people had imposed restrictions on the Kanwar Yatra. They had no objection to bombs being thrown at traders or to the making of country-made pistols and bombs, but they objected to Shiva devotees walking while chanting ‘Har Har’ and ‘Bam-Bam’.”
Showing his kurta, the Chief Minister remarked, “They used to be irritated by this saffron colour. These are the same people who had imposed restrictions on Shri Krishna Janmashtami, Ram Navami processions, and Durga Puja pandals.”
