Yogi Adityanath Warns of Social‑Media and 'Kal Nemi' Threats, Unveils Lawyer Welfare and Cultural Measures

He argued India’s economic rise invites foreign and internal conspiracies that require lawyers, families and cultural institutions to strengthen vigilance.

Overview

  • Adityanath, speaking in Gorakhpur on Wednesday, said forces would use fake social‑media accounts and misinformation to provoke caste, regional and linguistic divisions and to question institutions such as the judiciary and legislature.
  • He framed attacks on 'Sanatan' culture as part of the same threat, invoking the mythological 'Kal Nemi' to urge communities and spiritual leaders to guard traditions against what he called anti‑national conspirators.
  • The chief minister announced concrete measures for the legal fraternity, including a plan for cashless medical treatment for advocates, an increase in the Advocate Welfare Fund from ₹1.5 lakh to ₹5 lakh, and creation of a ₹500‑crore corpus.
  • He urged social measures to protect children’s mental and physical health, proposing every household observe one smartphone‑free day each week, and pushed for preservation and digitisation of Uttar Pradesh’s large manuscript collections, citing Sampurnanand Sanskrit University’s near‑one lakh manuscripts.
  • His speeches combined political and cultural framing with policy promises; the claims about conspiracies, economic rivalry and the elimination or return of Naxalism are assertions by the chief minister reported by multiple outlets and are not independently verified here.
