Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has launched a scathing attack on the Opposition, accusing them of initiating impeachment motions against Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and Allahabad High Court Judge Shekhar Kumar Yadav for merely speaking the truth. Speaking at the World Hindu Economic Forum 2024 on Saturday, Adityanath alleged that anyone who voiced their opinions honestly was threatened with impeachment by the Opposition.

As per PTI, Adityanath particularly targeted the Congress, accusing the party of double standards. "Anyone who speaks the truth is pressurised with impeachment motions, yet they claim to uphold the Constitution. Look at their double standards," he said. The UP CM also referenced remarks made by Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav of the Allahabad High Court, who had called for a Uniform Civil Code, arguing that the majority community’s sentiments should be respected globally.
