At a Hindu Sammelan, BJP leader Madan Joshi referenced the “love jihad” law implemented by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, alleging that “jihadi” men drug and sexually assault minor Hindu girls. He claimed Muslim men target Hindu girls outside schools solely to entrap them, alleging that victims either die or are forced to bear their children, and further accused them of force-feeding cow meat. Mocking victims who say “my Salman is not like that,” he urged attendees to watch The Kerala Story 2, asserting that “jihadi” men systematically target minor Hindu girls. Joshi also praised Dhami’s actions against alleged illegal encroachment, claiming “Uttarakhand is becoming shrine-free (mazaar-mukt)” and accused the Opposition of silence due to vote-bank politics.
