At a Hindu Jagaran Manch regional meeting, a speaker accused “certain communities” of attempting to convert Hindus to other religions and claimed the organisation had asked the Chief Minister to let them “weed out” such activities from Bengal. Referring to the “Azaadi” slogans in Bengal, the speaker said, “We will give them Azaadi,” and warned that they would “make India into Nepal,” referring to the anti-Muslim communal violence and unrest that spread across parts of Nepal in recent months.
