Geeta Dhami, founder of Seva Sankalp Foundation, speaking at a Sawan Utsav organised by the organisation, commended Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami for enacting the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and taking action against alleged “land jihad”, claiming that thousands of unidentified outsiders from outside Uttarakhand have been living in the state’s mountainous regions and illegally occupying land. She criticised the operation of madrasas, alleging that they served as hubs for “anti-national forces” under the guise of education. She noted that several illegal madrasas had been shut down, while those remaining in operation would be required to adopt a new educational framework.
