It is claimed that the Muslim state now has a very peaceful environment. Sharma said his government would crack down on child marriage and other criminal activities, conduct eviction drives from forest areas, and not stop the police from firing in self-defence. He made these comments while replying to the debate on the motion of thanks on the governor’s speech in the state assembly.
He mentioned the ongoing campaign to evacuate people from forest and protected areas. Referring to the eviction program in the state, especially from forest and protected areas, Sharma said that these actions are being taken according to the court orders and laws framed during the Congress regime. While implementing the Congress Act, which exempted tribals from eviction from forest land, this exemption would have to include minority communities or those facing erosion.
