In Khatima, CM Dhami Repeats ‘Land Jihad’ and Madrasa Crackdown Claims

Location: Khatima, Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand

During the Winter Carnival organised by Student Union, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami highlighted his government’s measures to implement laws against religious conversion, riots, “love jihad,” “land jihad,” and “thook jihad,” asserting strict action against what he described as a “ghrinit vibhajankari mansikta” (heinous, divisive mindsets), asserting that this was not appeasement but justice, and that governance was guided by the Constitution, not vote-bank politics. He claimed the “freeing” of over 11,000 acres of government land from alleged encroachment from “land jihadi,” demolition of more than 500 alleged “illegal” structures and closure of around 250 alleged “illegal” madrasas. Dhami referenced an initiative called “Operation Kalnemi,” describing it as a campaign against “dhongi (impostor) and pakhandi (hypocrites)” who he alleged were targeting and harming “Sanatan Sanskriti.”
