Adityanath emphasized the historical significance of Sambhal, citing references in ancient scriptures and temple demolitions in the past. He also highlighted the importance of respecting all faiths and traditions, while asserting the pride he takes in his Hindu identity and the Sanatan tradition. [Extracted from the article]
