At the Sakal Hindu Samaj event, a far-right leader delivered anti-Muslim hate speech and promoted bogus conspiracy theories.
“Lakhs of Rohingya live here in India. Crores of Bangladeshi live here in India… So our first demand is that these Rohingya Muslims and Bangladeshi Muslims, these traitors, be kicked out of India…. Love Jihad… We need a stricter religious conversion law……We believe in “ham do ,hamare do and they believe in hum paanch hamare pachees”….. We also need a population control law,” he told the crowd and administered an oath against love jihad and religious conversions.
BJP leader Anil Bonde, while promoting “love jihad and land jihad,” said: “We need to fix the Waqf board; this will stop poor Muslims from grabbing our land….. Israel is only safe as all citizens have to enlist in the army; that’s why I support giving the revolvers to people. That’s why Modi introduced the Agniveer scheme. Congress opposes this scheme so that Hindus can be oppressed in India and be treated how Bangladeshi Hindus are treated…. We have many Bangladeshi laborers here, but you must stop giving them employment….Stop hiring Rohingyas as well…. Boycott these people completely.”
