Addressing a large public gathering on the occasion, Dhami asserted that the state government is taking historic and decisive steps under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He emphasised that Uttarakhand has implemented the strictest anti-copying law in the country and reminded the gathering that more than 26,000 youth have been selected for government jobs with complete transparency and honesty in the last four and a half years.

He further reminded that the government has imposed a strict ban on activities such as land jihad, thook jihad, love jihad and forced religious conversion, reiterating that the state government is committed to protecting Uttarakhand’s demography and cultural values.
The CM further underlined that just as the magnificent temple of Lord Ram has been established in Ayodhya after 500 years and the Mahakal Corridor in Ujjain has been completed, extensive work is also underway for cultural reawakening in Uttarakhand.
