India, May 30 -- Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that while non-violence should remain the guiding principle of humanity, force becomes necessary when individuals pose a threat to the nation and society. Speaking at the inauguration of the Nausena Shaurya Vatika in Lucknow, he stressed that national security and development go hand in hand.

Invoking the phrase "Ahimsa Paramo Dharmah, Dharma Himsa Tathaiva Cha", Adityanath said a strong nation earns global respect and friendship. He also highlighted the role of the armed forces in safeguarding the country and urged citizens to honour and respect soldiers for their service to the nation.
