At the Times Now Summit, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami spread anti-Muslim conspiracies and targeted religious institutions. He promoted the “land jihad” conspiracy, alleging Muslims are covertly taking over land.
He questioned the identity of madrasa students, implying they posed a security threat. He spread the “thook jihad” conspiracy, which falsely claims Muslims use spitting as a form of religious or biological warfare, and pushed the “love jihad” conspiracy to reinforce communal divisions.
