Lucknow, Jun 21 (IANS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that the whole world can today see the stark differences between India and Pakistan.

"Today India has become the fifth largest economy in the world. Today's India gives free ration to 800 million people, whereas in Pakistan there is a scuffle over a kilo of flour. There is happiness and prosperity in India, whereas the people of Pakistan are yearning for two square meals," he added.
