Dhankhar stressed that every Indian must maintain an "unbreakable faith in nationalism to defeat forces that are against the country."

"Tricks are being adopted... I see around me a sinister convergence of forces inimical to the progress of Bharat," he said. Such forces start a narrative that later takes the shape of litigations and agitations, he added, calling upon citizens to keep "an unbreakable faith in nationalism" in such situations.
