Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami stated that his BJP authorities is firmly appearing ‘love jihad’ and such incidents are by no means acceptable in ‘Devbhoomi’. The Uttarakhand Assembly on February 7 handed the Uniform Civil Code Bill, which can function a template for different BJP-run states to enact related laws. Pushkar Singh Dhami was replying to Editor-in-Chief Rajat Sharma in India TV’s iconic present Aap Ki Adalat. Â
Uttarakhand chief minister emphatically stated, “Incidents like Love Jihad are very bad. Such incidents are not at all acceptable in Uttarakhand. There is no place for Love Jihad in Devbhoomi. Our Devbhoomi must remain sacred.”
Dhami identified that BJP had promised to deliver Uniform Civil Code regulation in its manifesto throughout 2022 Uttarakhand meeting polls. “UCC was our ‘sankalp’ (promise). Modi’s ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshta Bharat’ is our ‘sankalp’. …Uttarakhand is Devbhoomi (Land of Gods), the Ganga and Yamuna flow from Uttarakhand, it is the land of our rishi-munis. Article 44 clearly provides for bringing Uniform Civil Code for all. The people of the state have blessed us for fulfilling this promise.”
Dhami stated, “We will not allow any change to the ‘mool swaroop’ (original features) of our Devbhoomi….If mosque has been built on encroached land, it will be considered as encroachment and will be removed,” including, “We will not allow change in demography of Devbhoomi at any cost.”
