No Non-Hindus needs to be allowed to enter Char Dham

However some random cellphone calls to native merchants and dhaba homeowners within the space had them denying having made any such demand.

Nautiyal is planning to boost this difficulty with chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami to make sure a ban on non-Hindus is imposed on the earliest.

The issue is that chief minister Dhami has little to indicate by way of achievements. So, focusing on the minority Muslim inhabitants is one solution to distract the native inhabitants from the state authorities’s lack of ability to fulfil their electoral guarantees.

In Kedarnath, Muslims don’t comprise even 1 per cent of the inhabitants, with the hill areas having witnessed a serious migration of this minority over the last 5 years.

Through the Char Dham yatra, Muslims would arrive with their horses and ponies to take the pilgrims from Gaurinath as much as the Kedarnath shrine. Some Muslims from Uttar Pradesh do attain Kedarnath when the yatra opens up for the general public however return to their houses as quickly because it ends.

The issue is that many Muslim shopkeepers residing within the hills discovered their outlets being vandalised and have had Bajrang Dal activists warning them to depart or they might face a risk to their lives.

With Dhami repeatedly talking of Muslims indulging in ‘love jihad’, ‘land jihad’ and ‘thook jihad’ and the BJP wanting to determine a ‘Muslim-free’ state on this Devbhoomi, Nautiyal’s tirade is however a continuation of the anti-minority sample.
