"We studied cases like Shraddha-Aftab. Our aim is not to end privacy, our aim is security. We are not refusing to be in a live-in relationship. Parents should know about their children." Shraddha Walkar was a 27-year-old Indian woman who was murdered by her 28-year-old boyfriend and live-in partner Aaftab Amin Poonawala in Delhi. The Dhami government has made it necessary to register in live-in relationship registration within 1 month of implementation of the law.

On encroachment drive 

"Encroachment on government land is not good. Under the guise of religion, a religious place and a tomb were made.

We also probed into Bangladeshi, Rohingya links... action will be taken against people hiding their identity."
