At an event organised by Jeevan Deep Seva Nyas, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami highlighted his government’s measures to maintain the “culture and demographic composition” of the state. He mentioned the implementation of laws against religious conversion, riots, “love jihad,” “land jihad,” and “thook jihad,” and claimed that strict action was being taken against such “jihadi mentality.” He said that action had been taken against “land jihad,” claiming the “freeing” of over 10,000 acres of government land from “land jihadis,” and the closure of over 250 alleged madrasas he termed “illegal.” He mentioned the bill to dissolve the madrasa board, claiming that only those madrasas in Uttarakhand that teach the syllabus prescribed by their education board will operate. He also referenced “Operation Kalnemi,” an initiative he described as being against those targeting and harming the “Sanatan Sanskriti.”
