Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said social media has become a 'medium' for conspiracies against India, alleging anti-India forces are spreading rumours and misleading society. Speaking at the Kakori Train Action centenary celebrations, he accused a historical conspiracy to keep the present generation from taking pride in revolutionaries, with institutions named after 'one khandaan', a veiled reference to the Nehru-Gandhi family. He listed revolutionaries such as Ram Prasad Bismil and Bhagat Singh as deliberately kept out of public memory. Adityanath credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government since 2014 for honouring the 'real heroes', including renaming 'Kakori dacoity' to 'Kakori Train Action'. He urged people to hoist the national flag on Independence Day and sing Vande Mataram, and to identify forgotten freedom fighters from their local areas.
