At Virat Sant Sammelan, celebrating International Geeta Festival, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami highlighted his government’s measures to implement laws against religious conversion, riots, “love jihad,” “land jihad,” and “thook jihad,” claiming strict action was being taken against those encroaching government lands. He alleged that action against “land jihad” had resulted in “freeing” over 10,000 acres of government land from what he termed “land jihadis.” He claimed that the government was acting against a “divisive mentality” by introducing a bill to dissolve the madrasa board, adding that only those madrasas in Uttarakhand that teach the syllabus prescribed by their respective education boards would be allowed to operate. Dhami stated, “In Devbhoomi, we want to establish temples of knowledge and values, not separatist centres that promote jihadis mindsets,” claiming closure of 250 madrasas, which he described as “illegal.” Dhami referenced an initiative called “Operation Kalnemi,” describing it as a campaign against “vidharmis” who he alleged were targeting and harming “Sanatan Sanskriti.”
