New Delhi: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami had a special conversation with India TV. During this, he targeted the shirtless protest of Congress. Apart from this, he spoke openly on UCC, land jihad and spit jihad. He also targeted Rahul Gandhi. Here he gave frank answers to all the questions. When CM Pushkar Singh Dhami was told that Mohan Bhagwat was praising your Uniform Civil Code. What will you say on this? He said that UCC has been implemented, in fact its provision was made in the Constitution of India, even in the 2022 elections we had promised the public that we will implement UCC as soon as the government is formed. After this, on January 27, 2025, Uttarakhand became the first state where a uniform law came into force for all the people living there. There were many misconceptions among the people, which have been dispelled today. The misconceptions regarding the Uniform Civil Code were also removed. Uttarakhand has done this work and now other states are also moving forward on this.

From Shankaracharya controversy to land jihad and Kalnemi, CM spoke

Regarding the case of UP government vs Shankaracharya, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami said that these are religious things. Religion should not be brought into controversy and everyone should avoid it. Shankaracharya is the best post, if all the events are kept away from this controversy then the fame of the events increases and the respect for the post also remains. On the question asked about land jihad, CM Dhami said that land jihad was being carried out in a planned manner on a large scale in Uttarakhand. This land was in thousands of acres. So far 12000 acres of land has been freed from Land Jihad and this campaign is still being carried out. Regarding Kalnemi, CM Dhami said that Sanatani people from all over the country and the world definitely come to Uttarakhand. Crores of devotees come here, in such a situation, those who become a hindrance on the path of religion, were trying to hurt religious sentiments by changing their disguise, we launched Operation Kalnemi to ensure that Kalnemi does not become a hindrance in religious work. Today action has been taken against more than 6000 blackmailers.

Congress party has problems with every task

Speaking about the Congress Party, CM Dhami said that the Congress Party has always done appeasement politics. When we talk about UCC, they feel pain in their stomachs, when we talk about stopping religious conversions, they feel pain, when we talk about stopping riots, they feel sweat on their foreheads, when we talk about stopping land jihad, it hurts them, if we take action against love jihad, it also hurts them. In Devbhoomi every victory should be clean, there spit acts like Jihad and if we take action then they get in trouble. Even when we work to improve minority education, they face problems. Congress faces problems in every task. The people of Devbhoomi tell us to do this work, so we do the work and the people bless us and show the way out to Congress.

Shirtless protest is disgusting mentality of Congress.

Regarding the shirtless demonstration at the AI Summit, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami said that this is a very disgusting mentality and nothing can be worse than this. The whole world is watching the pride of India. India is showing to the whole world that the country is moving ahead in science, tech and AI. The world’s biggest AI summit is taking place and by coming there you are doing such a shameful act, then it has become clear that you want to harm the honor of the country. You have stooped so low that you have started having personal enmity with the Prime Minister, whereas he has cared for every section of the society and worked for its progress. There is no seriousness in Rahul Gandhi. He always opposes, sometimes he says that Modi ji does good work.
