At the inauguration of Jai Kandolia Pauri Mahotsav and development works, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami peddled the anti-Muslim conspiracy theories of “love jihad,” “land jihad,” and “thook jihad,” and claimed that strict action had been taken against what he described as a “mullawadi mentality.” He also highlighted the dissolution of the Madrasa Board that he alleged promotes a “kattar mentality” and the implementation of strict land laws. He alleged that previous administrations had created an imbalance by settling people from “special community” in areas where they had no prior presence. He said his government would not endanger the future of the state’s children and demography, citing the enactment of laws against religious conversion and riots.
