During a Trishul Deeksha organised by the VHP and Bajrang Dal, Bajrang Dal National Convener Kishan Prajapat fearmongered about the Hindu population declining in northeastern states due to Christian conversions and promoted the conspiracy theory of “love jihad”. He also claimed that Hindu women were under threat from Muslim men seeking to turn India into an Islamic state by 2047, promoted the conspiracy theory of “love jihad”, and urged the audience to boycott halal products to stop “love jihad” and the growth of the Muslim population.
